COSTEP

Description:
For the past 49 years, COSTEP has helped local residents in the seven-county Rio South Texas region provide a better life for themselves and their families through educational initiatives such as helping fund millions of dollars in student scholarships and providing free financial literacy education programs.

Now, COSTEP is advancing regional prosperity through the addition of a strategic framework for economic development. This framework is data-driven and market-validated, with a strong emphasis on job creation and building a regional talent pipeline, all working toward the goal of creating a virtuous circle of education and employment to drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity for the region and its citizens.
