About the COSI Matching Scholarship Grants

The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) grant doubles the impact of individual gifts, helping twice as many students. Each donor dollar is matched by State of Colorado's Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative.

PPSC has received $480,000 in COSI funds, which must be matched through new or increased scholarships. Help us reach this goal!
 
Student Impact

The COSI Scholarship Program at Pikes Peak State College provides financial aid to eligible students, requiring a 2.0 GPA and participation in support services like orientation, advising, and financial counseling.

COSI Success Coaches offer personalized assistance, addressing needs such as tutoring, food insecurity, childcare, counseling, and accessibility. By combining financial aid with tailored support, the program empowers students to achieve their academic goals.
