DC-CAP's mission is to encourage and enable DC public high school students to enroll in and graduate from college. Therefore, DC-CAP has made a long-term commitment to assist and support the students even after they have graduated from high school. DC-CAP will work with DC public high school students for up to five years after high school graduation to make sure they are able to complete their education. DC-CAP retention staff will work with on-campus student support services, financial aid directors, academic advisors and others to support DC students who have enrolled in college. Each year, DC-CAP retention staff will also assess the financial resources of each student and help them ensure that they have the necessary monies to complete their next year of college. Students are eligible for DC-CAP Last Dollar Award scholarships for up to five years of college.
