Financial Aid
As we know all too well, the cost of going to college is high.
But the cost of not going to college is even higher.
To assist with the skyrocketing costs of a college education, a
growing number of programs are available to District of Columbia
public high school graduates. Federal, city, institutional and private
scholarship sources of financial aid exist, as do specialized savings
plans, in order to help students and their families cover tuition
and, in some cases, living costs. The types of plans include federal
programs, D.C. programs, Sallie Mae and other sources of financial
aid. Also, if you are a DC public high school student graduate
you may be eligible for the DC-CAP
Last Dollar Award.
