DBCR High School provides a college preparatory program for highly motivated young men and women from the Washington, DC area.  Through the school’s innovative Corporate Work Study Program, students earn their own tuition money by working at sponsor companies around the Washington, DC area.

“We love participating in the Corporate Work Study Program and have enjoyed having Dillon work at our firm,” said David Dorsey, Bond Beebe’s Managing Partner.  “Dillon showed a lot promise during his three years at Bond Beebe and the firm is honored to support his continuing education with our first-ever college scholarship.”

“The scholarship award granted to Dillon Barrett is an outward sign of the investment Bond Beebe’s staff and leadership have made in this young man over the last three years,” said Alicia Bondanella, Executive Director of the DBCR Corporate Work Study Program.  “Bond Beebe mentored, encouraged, and trained Dillon to become a confident young leader whose vision has no limits.  We appreciate Bond Beebe’s exemplary partnership with Don Bosco Cristo Rey and their commitment to training and working with two new students in the fall.”
