DCPS Persists Recruitment Application


Thank you for your interest in DCPS Persists! Persists is a free alumni program dedicated to helping you succeed in college and beyond by offering a range of events, workshops, and resources to you and your family. Interested students can also be paired with a Persists Coach for 1:1 academic, financial, and personal guidance during the first two years of college. Through this initiative, DCPS aims to boost college graduation rates for DCPS alumni. We are excited for you to join us!

Student Acknowledgement


I acknowledge as part of program participation DCPS will have access to the following information:


  • Grades
  • Transcript information
  • Registration and enrollment
  • Financial Aid Information
  • Student Billing
  • Surveys administered by DCPS to students (qualitative data as well)

I acknowledge Voluntary Nature Participation in the program and may revoke participation in writing, should I wish to discontinue. Discontinuation of participation will result in the ineligibility of DCPS Persists Coaching and grants. 


By providing a mobile phone number, I understand that DCPS Persists may occasionally send me text messages related to recruitment, advising, registration deadlines, financial aid, etc. I can opt-out by texting STOP if I no longer wish to receive text messages.


I acknowledge Outcomes are Not Guaranteed. Persists coaches will work with participating students to help them progress and graduate, but DCPS cannot guarantee any specific outcomes as a result of participating in the program. 


While DCPS Persists Coaches may liaise with college departments on behalf of participating students, Coaches cannot make decisions on behalf of students. Success and attainment of desired outcomes is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
