The US Dream Scholarship is an exciting opportunity available for graduating high school seniors who have big dreams for their futures.
The US Dream Scholarship aims to support immigrant students, including DACA recipients and students with temporary protected status (TPS), who demonstrate academic potential, leadership, and a desire to pursue higher education in the United States. This scholarship is designed to help reduce the financial barriers that often prevent these students from accessing higher education opportunities.
Key Details:
Eligibility: High school seniors who are DACA recipients, TPS holders, or other undocumented students who meet specific criteria (e.g., GPA, financial need, and intent to attend college).
Application Deadline: January 31, 2025
Application Link: https://www.thedream.us/scholarships/national-scholarship/
The scholarship provides not only financial support but also mentorship and a network of resources to help recipients thrive academically and professionally. We encourage students who may be eligible to apply for this opportunity.
