TREP Program
In April 2026, the state voted to allow the TREP program for one more cohort. This means seniors (graduated in 2026) will have a chance to participate in TREP for one year.

The TREP (Teacher Recruitment Education & Preparation) program is no longer available for students graduating in the 2027 high school class. Colorado lawmakers decided to phase out and eliminate the program, making the 2026-27 academic year the final operational year strictly for already-admitted participants. No new applicants or future graduating cohorts are accepted.
