Opportunity Fund Program, Fee-for-service Contracts with State Institutions; Governing Boards; Local District College Grants Pu	rsuant to Section 23-71-301,
C.R.S.; and Division of Occupational Education, Area Technical Colleges -- Of the total funding allocated to the Higher Educati	on institutions for FY 2022-23,
$50,000,000 allocated to institutions is based on institutions' sh	are of first generation, underrepresented minority, and Pell- eligible students in FY 2019-20
and their improvement in retaining underrepresented minority students in FY 2019-20 compared to prior years. It is the General 	Assembly's intent that this
funding be used to prioritize retention of first generation, underrepresented minority, and low income students in FY 2022-23 a	nd future years consistent with
the goals of Colorado's Higher Education Master Plan, including th e development, enhancement, and expansion of programs to recr uit and retain such students
as well as steps to reduce the cost of higher education through tuition rate freezes, reductions, and need-based scholarships f or Colorado resident students.

Environmental Design at the University of Boulder campus is assumed to be assessed tuition at the same rate as a new student en	rolled in Media,

percent over what a student would have paid in FY 2021-22 for the same credit hours and course of study; except that mandatory 	student fees of up to a total
of $420 for 30 credit hours at the University of Colorado Denver and $240 for 30 credit hours at the University of Colorado Col	orado Springs may be
incorporated into resident tuition rates, with no resulting effective combined tuition and mandatory fee increase to any studen	t, and any incorporated fees shall
never be reestablished as a student fee. This amount is also calculated based on the assumption that each governing board will 	increase tuition rates for graduate
and nonresident students based on its assessment of market conditions. The General Assembly intends to adjust the amount in thi	s line item through
supplemental action during FY 2022-23 based on updated enrollment estimates and tuition rate information. 
41 Department of Higher Education, Governing Boards, Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines -- The cash funds appropriation fr	om tuition in this line item
is for informational purposes only. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 23-41-104.6 (5)(c), C.R.S., the Board of Trustees has authority to establish resident

action during FY 2022-23 based on updated enrollment estimates and tuition rate information. 
42 Department of Higher Education, History Colorado, Central Administration; History Colorado Museums; and Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation

including controlled maintenance; (2) the balance of the General Fund appropriation, totaling $1,125,000, is for capital projec	ts including locomotive boiler
repair, passenger car upgrades, and track, bridge, and tunnel upgrades; and (3) the General Fund amount above the 	$240,000 ongoing operating support is
based on an analysis of the Railroad's capital outlay needs over 	a three year period and is not assumed to continue after FY 20 24-25. The amount in this line
