Our Celebration of Achievements event is just around the corner, Thursday, August 18, 5:00pm. Reminder for Event Sponsors, Donors, and All DC Area Folks

DC International Charter School Give Away Day
Thanks to everyone who pitched in! What a Fun day, Friday, July 22 at DCI.

​Maria: "I’m attending Catholic University  of America and will be graduating with a degree in Nursing in 2026."
Most 2022 award recipients were able to come by and collect their laptops and the first Supplemental Scholarship award to get started with textbook and transportation expenses, and tuition gaps. Our fundraising campaign continues out of necessity, to build available funds going forward for the 33 students we’re committed to supporting on their journey to keep their debt load down.
Franklin's & Skylar's Tuition Gap Conundrum
Picture
Franklin: “I will major in Politics with a concentration on World Politics at Catholic University...in order to pursue careers in international relations and government, utimately, to work at the Department of State as a diplomat.”
Picture
Skylar: “At Emory & Henry College, I'm majoring in Animal Science & Equestrian Studies en route to becoming a Veterinarian."
When I spoke with Franklin and Skylar on Friday they told me they'd be applying their awards toward tuition. Their tuition gaps are larger than expected. If you haven’t pitched in yet, but been meaning to, now is a great time to do so to allow us to cover more of their tuition gaps.
“ A lot of people think if you give a kid a scholarship, now the kid’s set…they’ve got everything they need. Nothing could be further from the truth.”
Chris Metzler, director of student services at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE
Supplemental Scholarship Awards are invaluable contributions to DC International Charter School college scholarship recipients’ success. Your contributions help them with application fees and travel to visit schools; with quality laptops, iPads; and funds to cover other expenses, like a flight to Portland to college & back, $150 textbooks, gasoline, Marc train tickets to commute to school in Baltimore, food, school supplies, tuition gaps; all to help them stay in school and avoid racking up student loan debt.

The lives of students we support are vastly different from their wealthier peers. All Out for Change®, through donations toward our Supplemental Scholarship fund, helps financially disadvantaged, ambitious, college scholarship recipients with great potential ease their journey toward degrees, professions, and upward mobility for themselves and their families. ​
Fundraising Goal: $100,000
ONE MORE CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR DONATION DOUBLED
Some examples of how your Supplemental Scholarship donations have impact: $100-$150 buys 1 textbook; $600 covers a student’s commute on the Marc train from DC to Baltimore 3 times/week for a semester; $500 covers student's flight to Oregon for school. 31 students are in need of laptops; and 36 in need of our Supplemental Scholarship funds.
Help us meet our goal by sharing this email with your friends, family,  colleagues and business associates or by emailing us their contact info.​

SOS - Support Our Scholars through sponsorship, event tickets, donations, and by joining the celebration on the evening of Thursday, August 18, 5:00 pm.; view the Program.
