One of the biggest barriers is the cost. To tackle this, Colorado lawmakers passed a bill last year that requires state schools to offer in-state tuition to any student who is a member of a Native Nation with historical ties to the state, regardless of where they live. This fall, Metropolitan State University of Denver took this a step further, removing this financial barrier altogether.

Some schools in Colorado are looking to bridge the gap by providing more grants and scholarships to students.

When the campus was built, hundreds of families living the neighborhood were displaced. As part of the compensation, the institutions pledged to give scholarships to those displaced. They recently expanded this promise.

But they may also carry the effects of trauma due to parental neglect, community violence or COVID-19, and teachers are often the first to notice. That’s why Colorado now requires behavioral health training for teachers and for those studying to become one. But one university has already been incorporating trauma-informed practices into their curriculum.
