State Grants For Out-of-State Residents

The DC Tuition Assistance Grant expands higher education choices for college-bound Washington DC residents by providing grants of up to $10,000 toward the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition at public four-year colleges and universities throughout the U.S., Guam and Puerto Rico.

The DC College Access Program is a "last dollar award" for up to $2,000 per year for five years. The awards are based on unmet need and are designed to close the financial need gap between the student's resources, financial aid and the actual college expenses.
