MUST KNOW
Scholar Webinar Recording: DACA and Immigration Info Session
You can now watch the recording and view the PPT here for our DACA and Immigration Info Session.
 
Two immigration experts shared their thoughts and recommendations on:
 
  • Possible Supreme Court decisions regarding DACA
  • Renewing your DACA Status
  • Immigration Options that might be available to you
Updated Immigration Eligibility Criteria to apply for our Scholarship!
Immigrant youth are eligible to apply if they came to the United States before November 1, 2014. We are changing the date from the DACA arrival date of June 1, 2007, because we recognize that an increasing number of high school graduates will not have arrived before 2007.

We are keeping the requirements that an applicant arrived before age 16 and has lived continuously in the US for the last five years to help ensure that our applicants can meet in-state tuition criteria.  All other requirements from last year’s round will remain the same.
