We are reaching out to you with a special request. As the current semester draws to a close, we would like to invite you to share any anecdotes or stories of TheDream.US Scholars who are graduating. 

If your college or university has featured any of our Scholars on social media, in blog posts, or on your website, we kindly ask you to flag these instances for us. We are eager to amplify these stories and help spread awareness of the extraordinary accomplishments of our graduating Scholars.

Furthermore, we are in the process of preparing a press release, and we would be thrilled to highlight your institution alongside the graduating Scholars. This presents a wonderful opportunity to showcase the dedication and support provided by your college or university to these talented individuals.

Please let us know of any relevant materials or information by emailing Gaby at Gaby.Pacheco@thedream.us

We are just over a week away from Scholarship Renewals. Please remind your Scholars to complete their survey by June 1^st ahead of renewing their scholarship. The Qualtrics invitation can be found in their inbox from hyein.lee@thedream.us. 

Our Scholars’ feedback on the Scholar Survey is crucial to our programming, advocacy, and fundraising every year. We will continue to push this data back to you, our Partner Colleges, to inform all you do to support undocumented college and career success.

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