DCPS Persists is There for You on Your College Journey

DCPS Persists provides all alumni of DC Public Schools attending college with a network of support. That means events and workshops where you can get tips and strategies for college success, opportunities to connect with other DCPS alumni, and resources to help you on your college and career journey. 

In addition, each year, a select group of DCPS graduates are matched with a Coach who works with you one-on-one through your first two years of college. Coaches are matched with eligible students based on the college you plan to attend, so they get to know the place you’re getting your degree. 

Get Ready For Campus With Our College Success Summit and Workshops!

Want to join us live? All DCPS graduates heading to college can attend the DCPS Persists College Success Summit each summer and workshops throughout the year. DCPS alumni can get tips on time management, building a course schedule, financial aid, getting involved on campus, and more! Workshops cover timely topics, while the College Success Summit covers the topics students entering college for the first time most need to know.
