DC-UP Scholars Learning Community Scholarship

University of the District of Columbia, United States

Scholarship overview

The DC-UP Scholars Learning Community is a merit-based scholarship and leadership program for undergraduates at the University of the District of Columbia. Scholars take part in shared curricular and co-curricular experiences built around academic programs, service learning and career services, and are assigned academic coaches.

The scholarship tier depends on the applicant's high school location and GPA, and students from out-of-state and international schools are included in the tiers. Participation lasts throughout the undergraduate years and carries no extra cost beyond the normal tuition rate for the student's residency status.
