Aug 15, 2024Awards, Media, Scholarship News

The Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) Foundation celebrated a milestone this year, awarding nearly a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships to deserving students. At a special ceremony held at East English Village, dozens of students were recognized for their achievements and received financial support to help ease the burden of college expenses, including tuition, housing, and books.

Thanks to the generosity of our community donors, this marks the largest scholarship distribution in the foundation’s history. These scholarships are opening doors for students, empowering them to pursue their dreams without the financial stress that often accompanies higher education.

Stay tuned—at least 10 more graduates will be awarded scholarships later this fall, continuing our mission to support the future leaders of Detroit.
