Current Students
Community Club students in the ninth through twelfth grades are eligible for stipends in our stay-in-school scholarship program. These scholarships were started in 1969 to encourage students to stay in school until graduation (45% of District students don't graduate) and offer them an alternative to jobs, which often hurt academic progress. Scholarship amounts are scaled to students' class levels.

Stay-in-School Scholarship Rules
​

​Joining Stay-In-School Program
To get into the Stay-in-School Scholarship program, students must:
  1. Be enrolled in a D.C. public or charter school, grades 9-12.
  2. Have participated in Community Club for two full advisory periods.
  3. Maintain a grade point average (GPA)of at least 2.5 for two consecutive advisories.
  4. Take at least 4 full-credit courses each advisory period.
  5. Attend Study Hall regularly, come on time, work on homework each week, give advance notice to their tutor and class leader of absences, and follow all Community Club policies.
  6. Turn in their report cards promptly.

SAT Deadline 
Seniors: Registration deadlines for taking the SATs, or SAT Subject Tests, this fall are fast approaching. Check the test date schedule.

Juniors and Sophomores: Find out when your school will give the test, and the registration deadline.

Staying on the Stay-In-School Program
To stay in the Scholarship program, students must:
  1. Maintain a GPA of at least 2.5.
  2. Take at least four academic courses per semester.
  3. If your GPA falls below 2.5 for ONE advisory, you remain on scholarship. BUT:
  4. If your GPA falls below 2.5 for TWO consecutive advisories, you will be taken off scholarship.
  5. You must then improve to at least a 2.5 for TWO consecutive advisories to get back on scholarship.
  6. Continue to attend Community Club regularly, come on time, work on homework each week, give advance notice to their tutor and class leader of absences, and follow all Study Hall policies.
  7. Turn in their report card promptly.
