HEI scholarship program.
In addition to awarding HEI grants, the University of the District of Columbia may establish and administer a scholarship-award program for qualified individuals who have an interest in the pre-k education field.

A qualified applicant shall be an individual who has graduated from college within 3 years of submission of the application. A preference shall be given to individuals who: Are domiciled in the District; Graduated from a District college or university; or Commit to be domiciled in the District within 180 days of accepting a scholarship. An individual who accepts the scholarship and fails to fulfill the 3-year commitment shall be required to repay the scholarship.
