During a White House event yesterday, President Trump and Vice President Pence celebrated the achievements of students in the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program is now in its 13th year serving Washington’s most disadvantaged students. Nearly 6,600 children from low-income District families have been awarded scholarships since the program began in 2004-2005.
