    • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
    • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
    • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
    • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
    • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
    • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
    • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
    • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
    • There is no available contact information

    If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


    * There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
    ** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
    ***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

    How to win scholarships for DACA students

    If you’re applying to scholarships for DACA students, you may be required to submit an essay as part of your application. Scholarship committees often review thousands of submissions, so it’s important to write an essay that stands out from the crowd. One of the best ways to do this is by telling a story that demonstrates who you are. Your essay will be much more interesting if you hone in on a specific event that helped shape who you are and what you aim to achieve.

    To learn more about how to write a strong essay, check out the following guides: 

    Expert Perspective

    Expert Perspective

    The FAFSA is not connected in any way to your immigration status. You can fill it out safely regardless of you or your family’s immigration status, and it cannot lead to deportation or any kind of involvement by ICE.

    Resources for DACA students

    The following list offers a variety of resources for DACA students. Remember to check with your current school, as sometimes there are local resources and groups to take advantage of and get involved in.

    Immigrants Rising Mental Health Connector

    This free and confidential organization provides undocumented young people in California with 100% free psychological support and resources.

    National Conference of State Legislators

    This website offers students and their families information on what their state offers DACA students in regard to higher education funding.

    Questbridge Prep Scholars Program

    The QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship helps high-achieving high school juniors successfully apply to the nation’s top colleges. The Program provides resources such as a full scholarship to a college summer program at Stanford, Yale, Notre Dame. These scholarships are valued at up to $20,000, and cover travel, tuition, and room & board. The program opens in March, so bookmark and check back!

    TheDream.Us

    This website offers legal resources and links to other sites where DREAMers can find scholarships, programs, and local support. 

    US Department of Education DACA Q&A

    This document is written in an easy to understand Q&A style. The questions are organized into two categories: “Eligibility for Financial Aid” and “Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) Form.”

    Expert Perspective

    Expert Perspective

    If you are an undocumented student with a highly competitive application, I recommend applying to schools that treat undocumented students as Americans during the financial aid process, as opposed to international students. Schools like Columbia, Harvard, and Davidson meet full need for undocumented students, placing them in the domestic pool for financial aid.

    Frequently asked questions about DACA scholarships

    Can I apply for scholarships if I have DACA?

    DACA recipients are eligible for some local/state scholarships. As shown by the list above, there are select private scholarships offered for DACA!

    Also see: How to pay for college: A guide for DACA students

    Can DACA recipients go to college for free?

    Being a DACA recipient does not automatically qualify you to go to college for free. As a non-citizen, in fact, you will miss out on certain financial resources that citizens have. However, you always have a chance of landing a full ride scholarship.

    There are also other scholarship opportunities out there specifically meant for immigrant students and DACA recipients. So, you still stand a chance of going to college for free, or for a very reduced cost. Of course, you’ll have the best chance if you maintain strong extracurriculars, score high on standardized tests, keep a high GPA, and write strong college and scholarship applications.

    Does FAFSA cover DACA students?

    Although DACA students should fill out the FAFSA to become eligible for other forms of financial aid, they will not be eligible for federal funds that American citizens can access through the form. They will not be able to receive the Pell Grant, Stafford Loans, Parent PLUS loans, or any form of federal aid.

    That being said, filling out the FAFSA is still incredibly important for DACA students. It can determine your eligibility for institutional aid, and other scholarships may use your EFC as a benchmark of demonstrated financial need. The process of filling out the FAFSA might look a little different for DACA holders, but we’ve got all the information you need below.
