The DCA is the largest provider of scholarships to Darien High School (DHS) graduates. On an annual basis, we offer funding to both new and returning college students. To date, the DCA has awarded $2 million in scholarship funds to nearly 1,300 graduates. Made possible by donations, Thrift Shop revenue and various DCA programs, scholarships are based on both merit and need.

For graduating seniors, applications are now available through the high school. The DCA Scholarship Committee will review submitted applications, then contact students for interviews in May of each year.
Returning college students who qualify for continued funding may obtain applications through this link. Submissions are due by May 22, 2013. Students will be contacted for interviews in June.
