Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI)
A new partnership with the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative and CSU Pueblo is providing adults (25+) with support services and scholarships to obtain college credentials or degrees. This program is designed to attract new scholarship dollars statewide and supplement existing state tuition assistance. Since the program was signed into law, the Scholarship Initiative team has worked to lay the foundation, raise community awareness of the initiative, and ensure that all Coloradans have an affordable path into the workforce. COSI is currently offering two scholarship programs: Finish What You Started and Back To Work.
