New Scholarship Opportunity for DREAMers – Please spread the word

Committed to providing critical resources that ensure the success of undocumented, asylee, and refugee students, CU Denver has partnered with TheDream.US, the nation’s largest college access and success program for immigrant youth. From November 1, 2022, through February 28, 2023, students can apply for a new undergraduate scholarship to help them pursue their college education.

The National Scholarship is for DREAMers who are first-time college students living in Colorado, or currently or previously enrolled in college or university undergraduate students attending CU Denver intending to earn a bachelor’s degree. This opportunity is open to undocumented immigrant students, with or without DACA or TPS, who came to the U.S. before the age of 16 and before Nov. 1, 2017. The one-time scholarship award is for up to $16,500 for an associate’s or up to $33,000 for a bachelor’s degree. Those selected can use their scholarship to attend CU Denver.

Students can schedule a confidential appointment to be in English or Spanish with Estéfani Peña Figueroa, our new Undocumented Student Resource Coordinator who provides support to undocumented, DACA, and immigrant students.
