Illinois Dream Fund Scholarship


The world is constantly changing, and with that change, come great challenges and opportunities. The last few decades were witness to an extraordinary period of growth of the undocumented immigrant community. Regardless of what lies ahead, we are certain of one thing; access to education for undocumented immigrants, is essential for the growth of Illinois and this nation. Tomorrow’s leaders will need to be able to be great thinkers, possess both wisdom and depth of understanding. And they must have a profound sensitivity to people’s needs and motivations.

The Illinois Dream Fund Scholarship seeks to create access to financial resources to further the growth and development of the immigrant leaders of tomorrow. With the generous support of private donors, the Illinois Dream Fund Scholarship provides monetary assistance to undocumented students, who are incoming freshmen or current undergraduates and possess at least a 2.5 GPA (4 point scale).
