Last week, the Washington Post, ran a powerful and poignant story on our amazing TheDream.US Scholars Sadhana and My Ford on their front page. If you have not seen it, you can find it here:

We are proud to celebrate their successes, and we fully support their empowered decision to move to Canada for the next step in their lives journey.
Sadhana and My Ford’s stories are just two of more than 5,000 TheDream.US Scholarship recipients with similar achievements and potential.
Their story and decision to move to Canada is a painful reminder of the anxiety and ongoing uncertainty facing our Scholars and all DACA and TPS recipients given legal challenges and the continued congressional failure to pass legislation such as the DREAM Act.
Ted Mitchell, the President of the American Council on Education, responded with a letter to the editor titled, “How long will ‘dreamers’ have to live in limbo?” You can read his letter here:

There are hundreds of thousands of talented undocumented, DACA, and TPS DREAMers succeeding in schools and contributing in workplaces across America, who cannot wait to live “A life without restrictions,” and “To finally be free” (in the words of My Ford and Sadhana).
Our Nation runs the risk of losing their potential and talents unless we fix their uncertain status and act. At TheDream.US, because of your support, guidance, and tireless work, every day we choose to act!
