About the DCA Scholarship Program

Wave Strong is proud to connect students and families with scholarship opportunities available through the Darien Community Association (DCA).

Established in 1941, the DCA Scholarship Program has awarded millions of dollars in need-based financial assistance to hundreds of students. Scholarships are awarded to Darien High School seniors for use during their first year of college and, unlike many scholarship programs, may be renewed throughout a student's college career, providing continued support beyond freshman year.
