DC-CAP is a non-profit organization working in partnership with the District of Columbia Public and Public Charter School Systems that provides counseling and financial assistance to students who might otherwise never have the opportunity to attend or graduate from college.

Each DC public and public charter high school student has access to a College Information Resource Center and DC-CAP Advisor within their school.  Each student is eligible to receive college preparation and planning services to ensure future success with the college process. 

DC-CAP provides a multitude of workshops and planning sessions to assist parents and families with the guidance needed to assist family members in the educational process.  Financial aid workshops, parent informational sessions and family planning sessions are just some of the ways that families receive support.
