DC Futures is a last-dollar award and does not allow a refund. If your bill has been satisfied by other sources of financial aid DC Futures will not be applied.
Our office provides a list to the Office of Student Accounts to remove or not place holds for students who will receive funding from the DC Futures program. However, in some cases if a student is not on the list depending on when their application was submitted their name may be omitted from the list. Students who have a hold may contact the Office of Financial Aid and we will provide the necessary information to the Office of Student Accounts to request the hold be removed.
If the hold is from a term that is outside of the period the DC Futures funding is being provided, the hold cannot be removed.
No, DC Futures can only be used for tuition and mandatory fees.
Once the add/drop period ends our office will begin the invoicing process. Once it has been determined that students enrolled the link with the Emergency Fund application is emailed to all DC Future applicants. Please note that funding is limited and students are encouraged to apply timely.
The DC Futures award is a last-dollar award. If your balance has been satisfied in full by other sources of financial aid you will not be eligible to receive the DC Futures award as refunds cannot be made to students from this program.
