2014-2015 Keeping
the DREAM Alive
Schoalrship Guide for
Colorado DREAMers
Name of Scholarship
Note to users : This guide was created with the purpose of giving undocumented students several options of scholarships to apply to. When I was in high school the list of scholarships
for undocumented students consisted of only 2 pages with very few scholarships to each page. If I remember correctly, it was about 10-12 scholarships total. With that said, I would
have really appreciated having something like this when I was getting ready to apply to college and scholarships. I hope that this guide will help you maintain your hope up and help
you achieve your dreams. The money is out there you just have to put a little effort. Good luck!!
