College Greenlight scholarships for undocumented students?

I'm an undocumented high school junior exploring my college options. I heard about College Greenlight. Does anyone know what scholarships they offer for undocumented students? Any details on eligibility or application process would be amazing.

Indeed, College Greenlight does offer numerous resources for undocumented students, so you're on the right track. One thing you'll appreciate is that they curate a wide range of scholarships, many of which are available to students regardless of immigration status.

If we go into specifics, here's an example: 'The Dream.US National Scholarship' is one such scholarship that College Greenlight lists, which specifically supports DREAMers in their pursuit of college education. It provides up to $33,000 over four years to cover the cost of tuition, fees, on-campus housing, and meals.

When it comes to the application process, most scholarships have their own unique requirements, deadlines, and application materials. Generally, you'll want to prepare your academic records, letters of recommendation, and often a personal essay or statement. It's always advised to start these applications well before the deadline, and don't forget to proofread everything before you submit!

Please note, it's also important to reach out to the admissions or financial aid offices of the colleges you're interested in. Many schools offer their own institutional aid that you might be eligible for, and they can guide you through that process.

Finally, remember that American colleges and universities are prohibited from discriminating based on immigration status in their admissions process, thanks to federal law. So continue to plan, dream, and create a list of schools that align with your academic and career goals. Best of luck!
