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.

While enrolled in college, DC-CAP students receive counseling and support services provided to ensure timely graduation from a college or university.  With the support of the College Retention Advisors and support staff, college graduation rates have greatly increased since our inception in 1999.

As a nonprofit organization, DC-CAP is able to carry out its mission through the generous support of our donors and volunteers.  Please visit our Donors and Volunteers pages to learn more about donation options and to learn about our volunteer opportunities.
