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.
