DC Public and Public Charter School graduates meeting eligibility criteria and enrolled in an accredited two-year, four-year college, university or vocational school, are eligible to apply for DC-CAP Last Dollar Awards, for up to $2,000 per year for five years. The awards are based on unmet need and are designed to close the financial need gap between the students' resources, financial aid and the actual college expenses. Since its inception, DC-CAP has awarded more than 18,000 scholarship awards totaling approximately $37 million dollars.
You must be a graduate of a DC public high school or public charter high school within the last five years.
Submit copies of Student Aid Report (SAR), Financial Aid Award Letter, and unofficial high school transcript.
Graduating high school seniors must also attend the Pre College Experience, a mandatory program designed for first year college freshmen. Students are required to attend all activities throughout their designated day.
Note: The cumulative GPA requirement to be eligible for the Last Dollar Award is a 2.0 for freshmen and continuing college students. In addition to satisfying the GPA requirement, continuing college students must meet satisfactory credit completion each year. Students enrolled at four-year institutions must earn at least 24 credits each year to remain eligible to apply for funding. Students enrolled at two-year institutions must earn at least 20 credits each year.
Students who do not meet the GPA or credits earned requirement are encouraged to contact the Retention Office for academic counseling. The Last Dollar Award deadline is May 31 for entering freshmen and continuing college students for the upcoming academic year. Failure to comply with any and all of the requirements for the DC-CAP Last Dollar Award will render students ineligible for funding.
