Only DC residents are eligible to enroll and receive a tuition-free education in the District of Columbia. Enrollment of the student in a DC Public School or Public Charter School must be conducted by an individual that has the authority to enroll the student and can prove DC residency. Individuals who have the authority to enroll a student should be a parent, guardian, custodian, adult student, or an other primary caregiver (who must meet strict requirements to qualify).
To be a resident, the enrolling person must: be physically present in DC and submit valid documentation of DC residency.
The District of Columbia may use whatever legal means it has at its disposal to verify residency. Providing false information or documentation may result in the payment of retroactive tuition, withdrawal from school, and referral to the DC Office of the Attorney General for prosecution.
