Colorado treasurer urges schools to check for unclaimed cash
Here’s a slogan: Colorado’s state treasurer wants to return $3 million to state schools.
It’s how Treasurer Dave Young’s office headlined a Tuesday news release, urging residents to check to see if their school has unclaimed property it’s eligible to receive. There’s at least a 10% chance, his office said, that “gift certificates, tax refunds, unpaid wages or uncashed checks” are waiting “with your school’s name on it.”

In the announcement, Bianca Gardelli said the program has sent 770 notices to Colorado schools and universities to inform them they have unclaimed property.
