What is Single Stop?

Single Stop at CU Denver connects students to local community and governmental resources (e.g. SNAP and Medicaid) that can help them overcome barriers to basic needs. Single Stop has a free online screening tool that can estimate in minutes what supplemental resources students might be eligible to receive. Our staff supports students in accessing and navigating these resources, including individualized application assistance for public benefits. If you have any questions or need help getting started, please email us.

SNAP Benefits for Students

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a monthly benefit program that helps low-income individuals and families purchase nutritious food so you can stay healthy and thrive. Receiving SNAP assistance frees up money normally spent on groceries to afford other essential items, like rent or college tuition

If you are already enrolled in SNAP, you can qualify for additional educational and employment support via the SNAP to Success / Employment First program. Support services include career coaching, interview and skill-building opportunities, assistance with training/employment costs, job search assistance, and more. Contact your county’s human service department or submit a request through your Colorado PEAK account to get connected. (If you are a Denver County resident, you can apply here).
