No More Excuses for Not Going to College
No one in my family has ever been to college.
I don't know what I want to do with my life.
My grades aren't good enough to get into college.
I don't know how to apply or where I would want to go.
I can't afford it!
If you have ever used these reasons as "excuses," DC-CAP can help you see that there is a way for you - yes, you - to get a college education. DC-CAP helps students find the right college, assists with the college application process, helps secure financial aid and continues to provide counseling and financial aid assistance to students for up to five years of college.
A College Education Can Change Your Life
What's the best way to prepare for your future? Get a college education.
A college education provides the skills and background needed to compete and succeed in today's high-tech workplace. Vital skills are gained in critical thinking, communication and technology, giving young adults confidence and greater potential upon entering the professional world.
Getting a college education is absolutely the best way to prepare for the future. With a college education you will have more career choices, better job opportunities and dramatically increased earning potential. Today's average high school graduates earn $22,900 per year, while college graduates earn $40,500 per year. That's almost twice as much each year. And over a lifetime? Almost $1,000,000 more. Think about it.
