About this resource
DCC will provide each student with year-round living accommodations (on-campus), individualized mentoring and advising and assistance with completing financial aid and scholarship applications, while also requiring each student to work 10-15 hours a week and have a monthly payment plan (sliding scale system) to be invested in their education! Our goal is to be in partnership with the students and not simply give them a free education. We also provide the students Life Skills sessions to include: resume writing, personal finances and budgeting, mental health and more.
