Scholarship Opportunities for Undocumented Students
On this page, there are links and websites to many scholarships. HB 1079 students are eligible to apply for a large percentage of these scholarships. There are also generic scholarships for underrepresented minority students and first generation students.
This scholarship list does not guarantee that you will receive a scholarship, but many scholarships go unclaimed because nobody applied. Remember to supply the required information needed for the scholarship and always check for deadlines and updates. Please note that deadlines vary: visit scholarship websites for further instructions and scholarship availability
