Thanks to Bob Kimball, welcome to information on scholarships for DACA students.Please share the website with students and others https://www.scholarshipsfordreamers.org/
The philanthropic purpose of the Dreamers Scholarship Fund is to provide academic scholarships to students who have been approved under the US Government’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA enables certain people who came to the U.S. as children and who meet several key guidelines to request consideration for deferred action. It allows non-U.S. citizens who qualify to remain in the country for two years, subject to renewal. They are shielded from deportation and eligible to work and or attend colleges. DACA students are not eligible for federal , state loans or grants and need programs like the Dreamers Scholarship Fund to help achieve their dreams. The scholarship was founded and funded by Dr. and Mrs. Robert Kimball.
