The DC OneApp is the District’s online application for funding that students will use to apply for DCTAG, DC Adoption, DCLEAP and DC Adult. Completing the DC OneApp is a three-step process that requires:

1 Completing the DC OneApp on this website

2 Completing the FAFSA at fafsa.ed.gov

and

3 Providing the DC OneApp supporting documents

All required supporting documents must be mailed or delivered to the HEFS office at the same time, as one complete package. Like the FAFSA, completing the DC OneApp and submitting all required supporting documents must be done every year.

The 2009-2010-DC OneApp is available January 1, 2009.

Funds are limited. Complete your DC OneApp early!

Early completion increases your likelihood of receiving an award.

The DC OneApp deadline for on time applications is June 30, 2009.
