Our Ongoing Commitment
Today, more than 2,100 students attend DC Prep schools across Wards 5, 7, and 8. But our commitment doesn't end when students leave our classrooms.
Through PrepNext, DC Prep continues supporting students for 10 years after middle school graduation as they navigate high school, college, and early career pathways.
From one-on-one coaching and college affordability planning to career exploration and internship support, PrepNext helps students overcome obstacles and achieve their goals long after they leave DC Prep.
Alumni Spotlights
Your support of DC Prep helps graduates like Kyle, who will attend the University of Richmond this fall after receiving a scholarship package that closed an $80,000 financial gap. Or Mirian, who earned a full-ride financial aid package and will attend George Mason University to study criminology.
Stories like theirs are possible because of a community of supporters who believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. When you give to DC Prep, you're investing in students today and helping create brighter futures for generations to come.
