College isn’t cheap. We all want our children to have the opportunity to continue their education, but the financial reality often makes that dream difficult to achieve.
Since 1990, UPO has helped ease the burden of college hopefuls and their families by awarding scholarships. Currently, UPO gives $10,000 annually to each of 5 deserving DC high school students who want to improve their lives and their community by continuing to learn.
We know that being the first in the family to go to college or being away from home for the first time can be scary, overwhelming, and stressful on students and their families, so we also provide ongoing encouragement, support, and assistance to scholarship recipients.
Application: For more information about our scholarship opportunities, contact UPO Youth Services Division Director De Angelo Rorie at 202-610-2796.

Success in school sets the path for success in life. Our team educates, motivates, and encourages DC’s youth on their journey inside, outside, and beyond the classroom!
UPO’s Youth Services Division is here to help keep your child fulfilled, focused, and moving forward throughout the day and over the years. Our education and enrichment programs for first-graders to high school seniors are designed to make kids feel better about themselves, improve their academic and social skills, and become productive members of society. We also provide family support services to help create a supportive, nurturing setting for children and their families to develop, grow, and succeed.
