Colorado redirects $3.5 million in scholarship funds

On June 30, 2026, Colorado's treasurer must transfer money from the Universal High School Scholarship Cash Fund. The one-time transfers send $900,000 to the Colorado Economic Development Fund and $2.6 million to the General Fund. The law states that the money supports small businesses and helps balance the state budget. These transfers move existing money rather than create new funding or yearly spending. The law does not specify direct household payments or how scholarship availability changes.
