Colorado is home to nearly 100 groups and programs that help students plan, apply and pay for post-secondary studies. College In Colorado maintains an up-to-date directory of these services by region, and collaborates with many of the stakeholders to host the annual Statewide Pre-Collegiate Conference.
Current Pre-Collegiate Service Providers — This spreadsheet reflects changes since the publication of the most recent Directory of Pre-Collegiate Services. This directory includes federal programs such as the Educational Talent Search, Upward Bound and GEAR UP; college-based programs such as the CU System's Pre-Collegiate Development Program; non-profits such as AVID, High Horizons and College Summit, as well as numerous youth-oriented community-based programs promoting college access and success.

- College In Colorado Campaign Overview — Each year, Colorado outranks the nation with the greatest number of degree holders per capita, yet only one in five Colorado ninth-grade students will earn a college degree, ranking the state in the bottom quartile nationwide. The State of Colorado initiated College In Colorado as a statewide effort to improve college access and change expectations about college for all Colorado students. A cornerstone of the campaign, www.CollegeInColorado.org, offers a one-stop resource to help students, parents and counselors plan, apply and pay for college.
