Talking To Your DC-CAP Advisor

DC-CAP advisors provide assistance to students who are preparing for college. By working directly with DC-area high school students within their own schools, DC-CAP advisors help motivate and prepare students to enter and graduate from college. Students have the opportunity to attend individual meetings and group sessions with advisors who lead specialized workshops such as: Why Go to College; Planning Your Curriculum; SAT and ACT Test Taking Tips; College Survival Tips and Choosing a Career. DC-CAP advisors will help students choose colleges as well as assist in securing financial aid and scholarships including Pell Grants, LEAP grants, Stafford Loans and D.C. Tuition Assistance Program grants (TAG). DC-CAP will also grant Last Dollar Awards to students in need of additional financing to cover college expenses.

Visit the DC-CAP Office
DC-CAP advisors are located in each District public high school's DC-CAP College Information Resource Center (CIRC). Each CIRC houses college catalogs, college applications, financial aid forms, online college databases and other resources for individual student use throughout their college planning period. If you are a high school student, we encourage you to visit your school's DC-CAP office. If you are a parent, we invite you to visit either the DC-CAP office at your child's school or the DC-CAP Main Office, conveniently located in downtown D.C.
