Opportunity Scholarship for DREAMers in USA: The Opportunity Scholarship Award will cover your tuition, fees, and on-campus housing and meals at one of our Partner Colleges up to a maximum of $80,000 for a bachelor’s degree. The Award is renewable each year – you simply have to meet the continuing eligibility criteria – including continuous full-time enrollment.
We create opportunity scholarships for dreamers who live in states that cannot actually go to college, either because they face out-of-state tuition fees or because their state doesn't allow them to get into college at all. We call these states the locked state.
