We have been receiving many inquiries and concerns from our Florida Scholars about the new anti-immigrant bill that was signed today.

To help address these concerns, we are hosting a virtual ““Lunch and Learn" Zoom session this Friday, May 12th at 12 PM ET. We invite FL PCs, Scholars, Alumni and their families to attend. We will conduct the session in both English and Spanish, with 20 minutes dedicated to each language. The remaining 15 minutes will be reserved for a Q&A session.

Every year we ask our Scholars to:

1. Pay it forward by providing feedback through our annual surveys in May, and
2. Renew their scholarship before the deadline in June.

Right now we are in the #GivebackMonth of May. Please encourage your Scholars to complete their survey by June 1st. The Qualtrics invitation can be found in their inbox from hyein.lee@thedream.us. 

Here is the email that we sent to Scholars last week. Please use this language to share with your Scholars.
