"What I really discovered is that even though we all inhabit the same planet, we live in monumentally different worlds, and the way that we approach the worlds and that we build bridges between them is what defines who we are and the future of our world. Thanks to a DCIS Foundation scholarship, I was able to explore my world outside of Denver and make a meaningful contribution to our world in work and in life." Eliza, DPS Alumni
The DCIS Foundation's mission is to open the world to DPS students by advocating for and funding immersive educational travel experiences—whether close to home or across the globe.
The DCIS Foundation was started in 1997 to help schools fund student travel and create the next generation of global citizens. The funds ensure an opportunity for more students to participate. Since September 2024, the DCIS Foundation has expanded its reach across DPS and donated over $650,000. Thousands of students have benefited from this.
Our criteria for awards include: 1) active student planning, 2) thoughtful academic participation on the trip, 3) deep immersion with the local culture and peers, and 4) overall cost effectiveness.
Over the years, our donors have helped DPS students travel to over 45 countries, including Japan, Poland, France, Cambodia, China, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Israel, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Argentina, India, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and all across the United States.
Our foundation will continue to advocate for and support immersive educational student travel. Nothing can stop our vital mission. Nothing. Please join us in supporting our growing effort.
