Census data is protected by law and cannot be shared with any other government agencies.&nbsp;That means no one, from law enforcement to the IRS, can see your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s in\nit for me?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each completed census form by a student brings an average of $400 per year to Colorado for higher education.
