Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Students who are interested in applying for Colorado SNAP Benefits can view general eligibility requirements here. Eligibility requirements specifically for students can be viewed here.
More students are now temporarily eligible for SNAP benefits as a result of changes in federal law due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Expanded access to SNAP benefits includes students who are eligible to participate in state or federally financed work-study, and students who have a zero federal EFC (Expected Family Contribution). Students must also meet other financial and non-financial SNAP eligibility criteria.
The Department of Education’s Electronic Announcement on this topic provides further links on SNAP benefits and eligibility rules.
