Colorado Student Leadership Institute

COSLI prepares students for college by fostering leadership, independence, innovativeness, initiative, critical thinking, and creativity.

Each month, students will be expected to attend Saturday Academies focused on workshops to aid in the college prep process. Saturday Academies will revolve around filling out college applications, completing the FAFSA, CASFA, scholarship applications and other forms of funding, personal and professional skills development, and more.

It is crucial to understand that COSLI is meant for the student who is an exceptionally curious and excited learner. Very often, these qualities do not translate to test scores or transcripts, therefore, we weigh the following REQUIRED application components:

• Essay Questions

• Student and Parent Statements

• 2 Recommendation Forms (at least one must be from a teacher)

• Community involvement, activities, awards, life activity (work) and honors

• Test Scores

• High school transcripts

Program information is sent through WPS student email around October or November. Please feel free to reach out to the Future Center with questions!
