OVERVIEW – A Scholarship for DREAMers Who Have the Determination to Succeed In College and Life
Many DREAMers[2] came to the United States as minors, have graduated from U.S. high schools or earned a U.S. high school equivalency but lack a legal status. This prevents them from accessing any federal aid to help pay for their college education. In order to apply for TheDream.US Scholarship, DREAMers must be DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) or TPS (Temporary Protected Status) eligible and have applied for or received DACA or TPS approval.
Share the dream of obtaining a college education which can help them lift their families, communities and themselves out of poverty. On average, people with a college education earn nearly twice as much as those with only a high school diploma. Unfortunately, these DREAMers are unable to achieve this dream because they cannot access any federal financial aid and otherwise lack the financial resources to go to college. We want to change that.
TheDream.US Scholarship Program awards scholarships to DREAMers who have DACA or TPS status and who have demonstrated significant unmet financial need and the determination to succeed in college and in life. We recognize that, given life circumstances, a DREAMer’s academic record may not fully reflect the student’s ability to succeed. For this reason, we place greater emphasis on a student’s demonstrated determination to succeed than on a student’s grades and test scores. Our scholars have demonstrated:
- Significant financial need
- Academic promise demonstrated through a commitment to learning and clearly communicated education and career goals and a plan to achieve them;
- Determination and perseverance in the face of challenges and ability to learn and apply that learning to change their own lives and the lives of others.
Our Commitment to our Scholars’ College Success
We are committed to helping our Scholars complete college. To do so, we have selected Partner Colleges in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington D.C. that are committed to providing our Scholars with the support they need to complete college.
