💨 Abstract

D.C.'s Department of Parks and Recreation launched the "Play it Forward Scholarship," awarding up to 40 students who have participated in DPR programs. Each scholarship is worth $5,000, funded by a $200,000 commitment from Mayor Muriel Bowser's administration. Open to D.C. residents with financial need and postsecondary enrollment, the scholarships focus on young people's potential, not just academic performance.
