ATTEND
a Denver Public Schools (DPS) high school for all four consecutive years before graduation, unless you transferred into DPS from another state or country while in high school.

Please note that the SAI provided in your FAFSA or CASFA confirmation may be different from your college’s final calculation.
Once you meet DSF’s financial need requirement, you are considered to have met it for the remainder of your DSF eligibility, even if your SAI is higher in future years.
*16,640 represents 250% of the 2024-25 maximum SAI to qualify for a Pell Grant and is subject to adjustment each year.
