The purpose of the College Opportunity Fund (COF) Program is to provide interest free loans to motivated students who have exhausted all possible means of securing available funds, but still need more financial help in order to attend college. The COF is designed to provide the Last Dollar Needed.
The COF Program was developed by Bill and Carol Latimer with the mission of making it possible for highly motivated Obion, Weakley, and Lake County graduates, possessing high moral and ethical standards, to be able financially to secure a college or technical degree from an accredited school of their choice through interest-free loans.
The Foundation offers interest-free loans for the purpose of encouraging responsibility in students. It is the hope of the Foundation that students will learn more responsibility and develop a greater appreciation for their education.
