TheDream.US office will be closed on July 4th and 5th.

Have a fantastic holiday weekend!

The deadline to submit the Summer EVR is July 29, 2022.

Going forward, please use the new Enrollment Verification report for all terms. Here are the updated instructions, including how to complete the form, a helpful hints section, and where you will upload the file once you are ready to submit it.

We encourage you to bring your new Scholars together on campus for our New Scholar Welcome event on August 2nd at 2 pm ET. You may also use this time to host your own local orientation.

We have 6 colleges that will be hosting their own campus gatherings!

Please let us know of your own plans to do so by completing this quick google form by July 13th. 

Thank you for your efforts in encouraging scholars to complete the 2022 Scholar Survey and their Renewal forms.

Renewals:

Over 91% of Scholars submitted their Scholarship renewal form. ISTS will send an email with a decision by the end of July/early August. You will also see this information in your PC Scholar Report at that time. 

Scholar Survey:

We are thrilled to have received 2,682 total respondents – 89% of our 3,000 goal!

This year, you will have access to Scholar Survey data which will provide insights into how your Scholar cohort is evaluating their experiences on campus and where they need support for their academic and career success.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the DACA program. Over 230 individuals, including Scholars and College and University Presidents, gathered in person in Washington, D.C., to send a clear message to our elected officials: “With the likely possibility of an adverse Supreme Court decision on DACA and thousands of Dreamers barred from applying for DACA, Congress must urgently pass a bipartisan pathway to citizenship for Dreamers (those with DACA/TPS and without).”
