C. College Assistance<br />
DC residents enjoy college admission and scholarship opportunities not available to<br />
students in other jurisdictions. Some scholarships are unique to students from selected<br />
DC schools. Grade Point Average (GPA) is important but students with average (2.5 to<br />
3.0), low (1.8 to 2.4) GPA, and/or GED recipients should not be discouraged from<br />
seeking a four-year or post-secondary trade school education. The widest openings for<br />
college admission and scholarship opportunities seem to focus on minority students<br />
interested in science, math, and education degrees. Many colleges offer specialized<br />
learning programs for students with special education and/or learning disable needs.<br />
Special Ed and Learning Disabled (LD) are not subjected to the same admission<br />
standards as traditional students. See college’s website:<br />
