College Opportunity Fund
If you have received the COF stipend previously, you do not need to reapply. You may however need to authorize the use of the funds. Students may authorize the COF when registering for classes at the beginning of each semester or they may choose the 'lifetime authorization' option. If you forget to authorize while registering you can follow the steps below or come by the Financial Aid Office.
- To authorize your COF stipend for a term log on to your WOL account and go to "School Resources," "Student Services and Financial Aid," "Student Records," and finally "COF Stipend Authorization." Select the term you wish to update and check the appropriate box to decline or accept the stipend.
