DCCCD Rising Star Program

The Dallas County Community College District and its Foundation believe that cost should not stop anyone form getting a college education. The Rising Star Scholarship is currently available to recent graduates of any Dallas County Public High School and/or Dallas CAN. The scholarship pays for a full two-year college education - worth $4,000.00 including tuition, fees and books - at any of the Dallas County Community Colleges. To be eligible, students must have recently graduated from one of the Dallas County Pubic High Schools and/or Dallas CAN, demonstrated a financial need, and graduated in the top 40% of their high school (roughly a "B" average) - OR pass the required Dallas County Community College District assessment test to enter any of the DCCCD colleges.
