Round 1 Renewal Decisions Updated in the PC Scholar Report

The PC Scholar Report now reflects Scholarship Eligibility and Status for all Scholars who submitted renewals by the original deadline of June 22.

Round 2 renewals for those who missed the original deadline are being processed now and will be reflected in the PC Scholar Report in early September.

You can access your PC Scholar Report via the ISTS Portal. If you have any questions on how to access your report, please reach out to Camila.Salkov@thedream.us.

Scholar Programming

Starting today: Graduate School Mini-Conference

For Scholars and Alumni who are intrigued by graduate school or considering applying but not sure how to start, we invite them to join TheDream.US and Dr. Carolina Valdivia at the Graduate School Mini-Conference, August 25 & 26, 2021.

We will discuss the intricacies of applying to graduate school while undocumented (with or without DACA) and feature currently or formerly UndocuScholars. Workshops will not be recorded for privacy concerns.

There are two sessions each day and each session covers a different topic. Please encourage all scholars to attend as many sessions as they like.

In Case You Missed It

TheDream.US New Scholar Tatiana Faria writes Op-ed in Tampa Bay Times

An op-ed published in the Tampa Bay Times, by TheDream.US new Scholar and Florida DREAMer Tatiana Faria highlights her personal story of growing up without legal protections. Like many other DREAMers, Faria’s DACA application is currently stalled due to the Judge Hanen ruling on July 17th that ruled the program unlawful.

Her piece makes the case for why it is now up to legislators in Congress to provide permanent protections for DREAMers. Faria will be starting her first year of college this fall in her home state of Florida.
