Double Your Impact
The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) is a Colorado Department of Higher Education grant program that works to lower barriers to higher education and professional training by providing financial support and academic enrichment programs to students for up to five years. As a COSI participant, CU Boulder is required to provide matching funds.
ODECE currently manages about $2 million in COSI scholarships and ensures mentoring, tutoring, advising and other academic enrichment for students. Through these scholarships, ODECE is building stronger relationships with counties and school districts across the state to better serve students, part of CU Boulder’s commitment to expanding outreach to K-12 students from underrepresented communities as outlined in the Inclusion, Diversity and Excellence in Academics (IDEA) Plan.
