DC Futures Program

The DC Futures Program (DC Futures) aims to help District of Columbia college students complete their first associate or bachelor’s degree by providing a last-dollar scholarship (tuition, fees, and cost of attendance) at three local universities in addition to college coaching and support services that will address personal and financial barriers to completion for all participants. This may completely cover the financial need for some participants making the cost of college “free.”

Only current DC Futures participants are eligible to apply for funding for the 2025-26 academic year. Due to funding constraints, the DC Futures Program is unable to provide funding to students who would be new applicants to the program for the 2025-26 application cycle. At this time, only current (2024-25 academic year) DC Futures participants are eligible to apply to receive DC Futures Program funding for the 2025-26 academic year.The 2025-26 academic year application will open on Feb. 3, 2025, and close on Aug. 15, 2025, at 3 p.m. EDT .
