Forty-three percent of employers who checked on social media have decided not to hire someone, according to a CareerBuilder survey. Twelve percent of college admissions officers who checked Facebook decided not to admit an applicant according to a Kaplan Test Prep survey. The purpose of this scholarship is to help you understand why you should be cautious about what you post on the Internet.

Subsequent years of domicile in the District of Columbia will be reviewed annually, as part of the annual application process, to verify an applicant’s continued eligibility for funding. District of Columbia domicile must be maintained throughout college enrollment for a student to continue to be eligible for DCTAG funding.
