National Scholarships for High School and Community College Graduates in USA

Country: USA Value: $33,000.00 Deadline: Feb. 25, 2021 Category: High School & Undergraduate Students

For highly motivated DREAMers with considerable, unmet financial need, we conceive of our National Scholarship as the "Pell Grant."

While your GPA and test scores are important, we also look at your demonstrated dedication to community service and your capacity to overcome the obstacles and hurdles that DREAMers confront on a daily basis.

Regarding the Award:

At one of our Partner Colleges, the National Scholarship Award will cover your tuition and expenses up to a maximum of $16,500 for an associate degree and $33,000 for a bachelor's degree. Please note that certain Scholars may be eligible for a book, supply, and transportation stipend of up to $4,000 (or $1,000 each year).

The prize is renewed each year if you continue to fulfill the eligibility requirements.

More Than a Scholarship!

We have more than 70 Partner Colleges around the United States dedicated to assisting DREAMers and ready to provide you with the necessary resources you need to succeed in education. Each of our Partner Colleges assigns a Scholar Advisor to you and your fellow Scholars, both individually and collectively. You won't be on your own!

Due to the abundance of significant governmental and institutional help, we do not provide our Scholarship to DREAMers in California or Washington.
