Dreamers Scholarships Spring 2017

Due March 3rd, 2017

The Glazer Family Dreamers Resource Center at Cal State LA is proud to offer scholarships to students who are undocumented and demonstrate financial need as well as a commitment to their education and community. The scholarship reflects our investment in equal access to higher education by supporting students who are not eligible for federal financial aid programs. Students whose registration fees are not fully covered by the CA Dream Act will have priority.
