As a young Washingtonian, Edward Doxen watched his uncle become the first person in his family to attend college. Although unsure of his own future, he knew he wanted to give back to his community and continuously set himself, and others, up for success.
Years later, with the encouragement of his teachers and advisors, Edward enrolled at Delaware State University.
Like millions of students every year, he wondered whether he would be able to pay for his education, or whether earning enough money to pay for classes and supplies would become an overwhelming task that would distract him from reaching his goals. Fortunately, Edward found a lifeline — the DC Tuition Assistance Grant (DCTAG).
