COSI: Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative
The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative works to reduce barriers to postsecondary education by providing funding across the state for student programming. COSI programs offer student scholarships and support services. Programs include Matching Student Scholarships, Community Partner Program, Back to Work, Finish What You Started, Fund My Future, and Second Chance Scholarship.
Every Coloradan deserves an affordable path into the workforce; Together we can make it happen.
