TheDream.US is the nation's largest college access and success program for DREAMers - undocumented immigrants who came to this country as children. TheDream.US's work is anchored in their belief that all children living in this country - regardless of where they were born - should have the opportunity to receive a college education, and graduate prepared to help our nation succeed.
Working with the University of Washington - Seattle Campus, TheDream.US is offering graduates from Washington's community colleges the opportunity of a scholarship at an institution that is prepared to offer you the support services you need to help you successfully navigate your college life. Each Partner College designates a Scholar Advisor to work with you and your fellow Scholars - individually and as a group. You will not be alone!
If you are a DREAMer and have or will graduate from a community college by the end of the Summer of 2021 and do not have the financial resources to complete your bachelor’s degree at a 4-year university, this Scholarship may be for you!
Application will open November 1, 2020, for the 2021-22 academic year.
