This varies by college and how many credits a recipient completes. The average cost per credit hour at a Colorado Community College was $188.09 in 2021. Each course is usually three credits, which would bring the total to $564.27 for one, 3 credit course, putting the sponsoring program’s cost at $28.21 not including fees. All colleges charge different fees based on the program, the course, etc.

Keep in mind that four-year colleges are more expensive. If you are worried about the costs, please visit the college website for accurate pricing and discuss with the recipient. Each model has a minimum and maximum number of credits associated with it, so you will want to keep this in mind. If you sign a contract to support a recipient with a Director Qualifications Model, you are stating you will be responsible for costs for a minimum of nine credits and a maximum of 18 credits.
