The Supplemental Scholarship Fund Propels Students Toward Success with Less Financial Stress and Less Debt
Heading to college with only partial scholarships and financial aid packages sets students up for ScholarshipWreck… lots of debt upon receiving a degree, or dropping out with debt. “ 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 |
Most scholarship & financial aid recipients do not receive full ride scholarships; usually, full or partial tuition, and sometimes partial room & board.
|
Together, through all who pitch in to the Supplemental Scholarship Fund, we make a difference for others. All Out for Change® helps DC International Charter School students overcome disadvantages our educational system's inequities present. The organization raises funds to help 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, $150 text books, and scholarship tuition gaps that prevent registration if not paid. |
*$6,000 can cover a semester tuition gap; numerous students each semester have smaller & larger gaps.
$18,000 will cover laptops for 2023 grads; $450 = 1 refurbished laptop.
$1,000 will cover 1 Supplemental Scholarship AMEX card for 1 semester (students submit expense tracking reports); $5,000 buys 5 cards for DCI grads from 2021, 2022, 2023; goal, $120,000 equals Supplemental Scholarship awards for both semesters.
Every semester our select group of college scholarship students will face college and living expenses they and their families can’t afford. Through your support, our 2023 Celebration of Achievements fundraising campaign allows us to purchase laptops and provide fall & spring semester Supplemental Scholarship awards.

*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.”
