2. Colorado Student Leaders Institute - Become a local student leader!

Colorado Student Leaders Institute (COSLI) is a state-legislated, summer residential program. For one month each summer, Colorado's best and brightest students, chosen from a competitive pool of applicants, live and study on the campus and earn three hours of college credit. Students choose one of two majors through which to explore an interdisciplinary curriculum: International Social Studies or STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math), and explore diverse topics through a lecture series by university professors and 3 hands-on projects--Colorado Social Problem Lab, Short-Term Business Lab, and National History Day (https://clas.ucdenver.edu/nhdc/).

​

COSLI students do not have to be formally designated as gifted and talented students, but they must demonstrate through their application that they meet the academic rigors that the program requires. At least 50% of our students must be eligible for free and reduced lunch and/or be first generation college students.  COSLI prepares students for college by fostering leadership, independence, innovativeness, initiative, critical thinking, and creativity.
