I was hoping to avoid adding Enrolled or Not enrolled as a visible column and just go with formatting, but showing the column serves the purpose.

The built-in combo box is populated by a string, with a delimiter to indicate line breaks. No way to format anything but the entire control. I wouldn't recommend different formats in rows anyhow. You could, of course, make the ENROLLED all caps to distinguish form Not Entrolled, which would serve the same purpose..
