About the Foundation

We provide COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS and MENTORING to low-income, high-potential students

The District of Columbia College Success Foundation was created in 2006 to expand the pipeline of low-income and under-represented students who complete a baccalaureate degree by providing students the educational and financial incentives, mentoring and other supports necessary to gain admission to the colleges and universities of their choice. The desired long-term outcome is to sustain the efforts of this program by building support from families, communities and especially the DC Public Schools administration, high school principals and teachers for all students. The combined effect of this belief is the realization of a college-ready culture in the high schools where overall student achievement is boosted and the previous gaps in achievement between and among different groups of students are eliminated.
