Returning Scholars received notifications about if their renewal was approved or declined on Tues. 7/27. We expect the PC Scholar Reports to be updated with Scholar renewal information around mid-August. We will let you know once they are ready for you to download to see your Scholars renewals.

Note: We have reopened the Renewal form until Aug 8th allowing for one final opportunity for Scholars who missed the deadline to fill out the form and provide a copy of their transcript.

The Biden administration announced amended guidelines extending and expanding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals amid government upheaval and civil unrest sparked by the assassination of the country’s president last month.

Qualified Haitian immigrants can now file applications for Temporary Protected Status. Haitian Scholars and grads are encouraged to apply and seek assistance for the filing fee via Mission Asset Fund.

Federal Register Notice here with instructions. The new status will run from August 3, 2021, through February 3, 2023.
