TREP Application is Now Open 03/01 & Closes 05/01
Teacher Recruitment Education Program (TREP)
The TREP application is now open for eligible seniors interested in pursuing a career in education. TREP provides a scholarship opportunity to attend an approved DCSD Colorado partner college.
Important: TREP continuation is pending state approval and final slot allocation for DCSD. Applications are being accepted while we await confirmation. Students are strongly encouraged to develop a solid Plan B in the event the program does not continue or they are not selected. District notification from the state typically occurs after the Long Bill (state budget) is passed in late May or early June.
