In this episode of the Educa DPS Podcast, we sit down with Yoseline Loya from the Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF) to break down everything DPS students and families need to know about preparing for life after high school.

From scholarships and financial aid to college visits and career exploration, this conversation is all about access, opportunity, and making informed decisions. Whether you’re a freshman just getting started or a senior ready to apply, DSF provides free support every step of the way.

We also cover:
• What it means to be college and career ready
• When students should start planning (hint: it’s earlier than you think)
• FAFSA vs. CASFA and how financial aid really works
• How families can get involved and supported
• Why students should apply first and decide later

If you’re a DPS student or parent, this episode is for you. There are opportunities out there — and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
