Re: Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative Letter of Support
Dear COSI Board of Directors:
Please allow this letter to serve as the required letter of support from the Board of Weld County
Commissioners for Weld County's Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) Program grant
application.
Through this program,students will further their education,businesses and residents will receive property
tax credit toward their taxes,and our overall county workforce will be better trained and skilled.
The program is simple.Set up as a workforce development fund,the Weld County Bright Future Grant
Program is a tuition assistance program for Weld County high school graduates, GED recipients and
Honorably Discharged U.S. Veterans and is funded by donations from taxpayers who receive tax
incentive payments or credits for their contribution.
The COSI grant amount will be matched by donations from the taxpayers of Weld County contributing to
the Weld County Bright Futures Grant Program to assist students meeting the COSI guidelines.In addition
to the taxpayer support, Bright Futures will fundraise matching dollars from special events, as well as
individual and corporate donations.
We appreciate your consideration for this program where together we can build Bright Futures for all of
Weld County.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
