The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) provides qualifying Colorado students with scholarship awards to aid them in their pursuit of a college degree. In addition to financial assistance, COSI scholars are able to meet with COSI advisors on a regular basis. These COSI advisors take on many roles, including:
- Providing individual and group support
- Teaching financial literacy (including FAFSA)
- Aiding students as they transition to college or the workforce
- Advising and guiding students as they navigate their academic journey
Events are great ways to interact with the COSI team and meet other COSI scholars.
