Our undocumented students merit scholarships and fellowships. They are indeed so incredibly talented and motivated to give back to their communities and their country—which is all of ours.

En carne propia, in the flesh, I have conducted researched on them, with them, taught them, and advocated for them for many years, decades now. Others are family members and everybody just wants to live good, healthy lives, free of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, scapegoating, and fear. This list or guide contains

"344 undergraduate and 302 graduate/post-graduate scholarships and fellowships that do not require proof of citizenship or legal permanent residency (425 are open to individuals who don’t have DACA)"

We need to stop all this political nonsense and unequivocally support all of our youth, especially our undocumented youth who have been subjected to such hateful, cruel, and inhumane policies and suffering.

Not to worry. The world not only won't be over: It'll be improved, as a consequence! It already is improving because of them.

Sí se puede! Yes we can!

2020 SCHOLARSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP LISTS

Art by Marithza Quiroz

Scholarships and fellowships are essential for many undocumented students to pay for higher education, especially students who do not qualify for in-state tuition and state-based financial aid. Undocumented students pursuing higher education need to know that scholarships and fellowships are available to them—regardless of their immigration status.

This year, we’ve expanded our Scholarship and Fellowship Lists with 222 BRAND-NEW scholarships and 80 fellowships. The complete list now contains 344 undergraduate and 302 graduate/post-graduate scholarships and fellowships that do not require proof of citizenship or legal permanent residency (425 are open to individuals who don’t have DACA):
