D.C. students admitted to any U.S. public college will pay modest costs. Any student qualifies who graduated after January 1, 1998. This means not only this year's graduates, but also students entering their sophomore or junior year in September. A student who does not go to college immediately has three years after graduation from high school or receipt of a GED to take advantage of low in-state tuition under our new D.C. College Access Act. Students who haven't applied or been admitted to a state institution are encouraged to apply now.
Many institutions accept students up until registration.
We encourage all our students who are ready to put in the effort to apply to college. Finally our young people have the opportunities for higher education Americans in the 50 states have long enjoyed. It's too good an opportunity to leave behind. The Cost of Protest. Protestors who came to town to close down the World Bank and the IMF may not realize it, but their protest was on us.
