Degree Completion Program

In collaboration with the National Consortium for Academics and Sports, the Degree Completion Program (DCP) enables former Northeastern University student-athletes to complete their education in exchange for community service. Coordinated by Sport in Society, the former student-athlete receives a tuition waiver from their former institution by completing ten hours per week of community service. The service must be performed directly with underserved youth at pre-selected service sites. Program participants develop sport programs, tutor, and mentor school-aged youth, as well as support community initiatives.

For more information please visit the National Consortium for Academics and Sports website.
