TheDream.US National Scholarship

First-generation immigrant students with or without DACA or TPS who arrived in the US before age 16 and before Nov 1, 2020, have significant unmet financial need, are eligible for in-state tuition at a TheDream.US Partner College in their state, and will enroll full-time in an associate or bachelor's program.

TheDream.US National Scholarship is the largest college access program in the country for undocumented immigrant students, including those with DACA or TPS and those with neither. The award covers tuition and fees at one of TheDream.US Partner Colleges up to $33,000 for a bachelor's degree or $16,500 for an associate degree, and follows the student through degree completion with annual renewal. Applicants must have come to the United States before age 16 and before Nov 1, 2020, have significant unmet financial need, be eligible for in-state tuition at a Partner College in their state, and intend to enroll full-time. Because the award is tied to a specific list of Partner Colleges, students should confirm their intended school participates before applying.

Renewal terms: Renewable each year through completion of the degree if the recipient meets continuing eligibility criteria and renews the award in June.
