WE’RE EXCITED TO celebrate the achievements of the DCI Class of 2023
and our Supplemental Scholarship Award recipients from 2021-2023.
and our Supplemental Scholarship Award recipients from 2021-2023.
Supplemental Support
Veterinarian, Biologist/Researcher, Opera Singer, IT Professional are among their goals. 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.
Supplemental Scholarship Awards are invaluable contributions to student success helping them with application fees and travel to visit schools; with quality laptops, iPads; and funds to cover the cost of college essentials, like transportation to college, $150 textbooks, clothes for interviews, and tuitions gaps; all to help them stay in school and avoid racking up student loan debt.
Supplemental Scholarship funds will be awarded for fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters: to the 2021 and 2022 DC International Charter School (DCI) graduates throughout college, and to a new cohort of 2023 DCI college bound scholarship recipients; and Anthony Anderson, who has benefited from awards since 2017 for undergrad application fees and travel to audition that led to 3 full-ride scholarship offers, and iPad that proved invaluable, grad school application fees and travel for auditions, and replacement laptop for his old one. For a quick overview of All Out for Change®, view our Executive Summary.

When Anthony crossed paths with Michael their exciting journey unfolded. Nine years ago, when Anthony asked his teacher at Duke Ellington School of the Arts in DC to be his mentor, Michael reflected as he accepted the honor, “here’s a young man who has a very special talent.” See and hear what Michael foresaw back then. With numerous supplemental scholarship awards since 2017, Anthony’s achievements and good fortune have multiplied, including a full scholarship to Oberlin Conservatory, a Today Show interview, and news coverage; and grad school at University of Maryland Opera Studio. As he once remarked, “it takes a village!”

"But the most miraculous part of my story is not me- it is the people who kept me from falling through the cracks, the people who saved my life." Author & Guest Speaker, Richard White |

"Principal Tubist of the New Mexico Philharmonic. Richard enjoys teaching at the University of New Mexico, where he is Associate Professor of tuba/euphonium, and Associate Director of the Spirit Marching Band.” University of New Mexico, Richard White.

When students cross paths with pivotal people and exceptional academic programs in the public school system, like DC International and Duke Ellington School of the Arts, they embark on exciting journeys, accomplishing things they never imagined. From the dark corner of our educational system’s inequities some fortunate youths’ lives take a sharp turn onto an expensive unfamiliar path for their families, toward higher education. The tragic price they pay for their achievements of exceptional academic performance, partial college scholarship offers and financial aid packages take them on a perilous financially challenging journey.
One DCI grad during her first year remarked in our survey (read more below): “…the reason I could not keep up with my classmates, was not because of my academics however because of money. I am so grateful to have heard of this wonderful organization and want to thank you guys so much for the help and support.” We provide the support everyone of our supplemental scholarship students deserve throughout their years in college to keep their dreams on track: college degrees, professional goals, and upward mobility. They have achieved excellence and deserve to continue to do so without sinking in debt and dropping out. |
When ambition meets good fortune, dreams emerge & their achievement.

Here's How You Can Make a Difference
SOS - Support Our Scholars through our Supplemental Scholarship Fund. This quote from our student survey reveals a typical stumbling block: Has there been a time when a tuition gap could have prevented your continued enrollment in your college and university? Would funds for tuition be helpful? “Funds going towards my tuition would be extremely helpful to me in so many ways.One time my mom and I were late for my course fees and they threatened to drop my classes… they placed my account on hold again. Once I paid the tuition they asked for and they took me off of hold, the classes I needed to take for my major (Marine Biology) requirement were already taken and they are not offered every quarter, meaning I have to wait for my sophomore year to take them. It was a very humiliating time, because the reason I could not keep up with my classmates, was not because of my academics however because of money. I am so grateful to have heard of this wonderful organization and want to thank you guys so much for the help and support.”

We believe that youth, regardless of family wealth, deserve an opportunity to achieve. All Out for Change® helps public high school students overcome disadvantages our educational system's inequities present. The organization raises funds to cultivate competitive college and scholarship candidates, and helps full and partial-scholarship recipients with the myriad of essentials their wealthier peers’ families can afford, such as laptops, transportation to and from college, clothes for job interviews, meals, dorm and school supplies, and scholarship tuition gaps that prevent registration if not paid.
To learn more explore the website. Features include: 5 interviews conducted by Anthony, filled with insightful illuminating conversation with students and young professionals; eye-opening conundrum stories, and the inspiring success stories that emerge. |
