DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), extended their July 23rd extension pushing back further until September 7th. The original due date for completing online applications for the DC Tuition Assistance Grants (DCTAG) was June 30th but now DC students have more time.

This is great news for the procrastinators of the world and evidence that the last can truly be first if he or she would only turn around and go in the opposite direction, that’s always true!
