The community service awards are new this year and given to two juniors and two seniors who have made significant contributions to the community during their high school years.
The DCA is the largest provider of scholarships at DHS – providing funding for both new and returning college students – and the only one offering recipients the opportunity to re-apply for funding during all their years of college.
Celebrating its 75th anniversary of granting scholarships, the DCA will award a total of $51,000 this year, based on both merit and need. The following DCA scholarships were awarded to members of the Class of 2016 for their college plans:
