CASFA and ASSET: Financial Aid Options for Colorado Students
What is CASFA?
CASFA is the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid. It is for students who are not eligible for federal aid. CASFA applies you for state and institutional aid only, not federal aid.
Who should not complete CASFA?
If you are eligible for federal aid and can complete the FAFSA, use the FAFSA instead.
