Financial Aid for Washington DC College Students

District of Colombia Tuition Assistance Grant (DCTAG) is a program that offers college grants for Washington D.C. residents. DCTAG provides 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 US, Guam and Puerto Rico.

The grant also provides up to $2,500 per academic year toward tuition at private colleges in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, private Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) nationwide and two-year colleges nationwide.

DCTAG is neither need-based nor is it merit-based. These funds are grants - free money for college, not loans, and do not have to be repaid by the student or parent.
