Hi fellow applicants! I'm an undocumented student, and I've been trying to find scholarships that are open to people in my situation. Do any of you have recommendations for scholarships that specifically cater to undocumented students? Your help would mean a lot to me. Thank you!
Hello! I understand how important finding scholarships can be, especially for undocumented students. You're not alone in this journey, and I'm happy to share some resources which can help you locate scholarships specifically designed for undocumented students.
One of the best-known organizations that provides financial support to undocumented students is TheDream.US. They offer multiple scholarships designed to help DACA, TPS, and other eligible non-citizens fund their education expenses.
Another option is the Golden Door Scholars program, which provides scholarships to DACA recipients from states with limited access to in-state tuition and state-funded financial aid.
You might also want to explore resources like Immigrants Rising's Scholarship and Fellowship List. Their website compiles an extensive list of various scholarships for undocumented students.
Lastly, don't forget to check with your college's financial aid office. Many universities offer institution-specific scholarships or aid that are open to undocumented students.
Best of luck on your scholarship search, and I hope you find the financial support needed to achieve your educational goals!
