DREAM Scholarship

TheDream.US is a national scholarship fund for DREAMers. They provide college scholarships to highly motivated DREAMers who have DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) or TPS (Temporary Protected Status) approval and who, without financial aid, cannot afford a college education that will enable them to participate in the American workforce.

Mt. SAC is hosting application workshops, including scholarship advising assistance, for interested students.  For a list of workshop dates, times and locations - click here.

For one-on-one support in the application process, contact Elmer Rodriguez at (909) 274-5989 or via email at erodriguez@mtsac.edu.
