How to Apply for TheDream.US Scholarship <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Here are some brief descriptions of the top TheDream.US Scholarship.<\/p>\n

About TheDream.US Scholarship<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

TheDream.US\u00a0<\/a>began operating to cater to the educational need of Immigrant youths in the United State. Spotting that there are 1.8 million DREAMers living in the US, of which 98,000 graduate from high school annually, they saw the need to ensure that qualified DREAMers don\u2019t remain at home because of lack of funds for college.<\/p>\n

TheDream.US scholarship operates under the framework of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA gives DREAMers the right to remain in the\u00a0US<\/strong>\u00a0and work legally in the States. However, it doesn\u2019t qualify them to be citizens and be eligible for federal or state aid which will support their education.<\/p>\n

Also, some of these DREAMers are in locations in the USA where they cannot attend\u00a0colleges<\/strong>\u00a0in the state or must have to pay high out-of-state tuition fees.<\/p>\n

Thus, theDream.US scholarship exists to provide financial support to DREAMers who not only show academic promise but also a desire to make a difference in the world. So, through over 70 partners in 16 states in the US, Dreamers can attend college without any financial burden.<\/p>\n

So far, there are over 5,000 DREAMers who have received scholarship awards from TheDream.US in either their National Scholarship or Opportunity scholarship.<\/p>\n

Level\/Field of Study<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

TheDream.US scholarship is available to graduating high school or Community College students in the USA. These students can apply this scholarship to any field of\u00a0undergraduate<\/strong>\u00a0study in TheDream.US partner schools.<\/p>\n

Host Nationality<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

TheDream.US is a US-based scholarship organization that provides scholarships to Immigrant youths in the USA. They don\u2019t have any other office in other countries of the world.<\/p>\n

Eligible Nationality<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Dream.US scholarship is available to Immigrant students in the US. Also, with TheDream.US adoption of the new immigration policy, DREAMers who came into the USA before November 1, 2015, are now eligible for the scholarship.<\/p>\n
