Adelante Scholarship

The Adelante Scholarship supports DACA recipients and undocumented students in Arizona who are eligible for in-state tuition under Proposition 308. Applicants must have attended an Arizona high school (or equivalent) for at least two years, have graduated from an Arizona high school or earned a GED, and be enrolled full time (minimum 12 credit hours) at an Arizona community college or university for the fall semester. High school seniors and current college students may both apply.

Recipients receive up to $5,000 per academic year in a bachelor's program or up to $2,500 in an associate program, renewable for up to one year, plus access to Aliento's student programming, peer networking, and coaching.

The application requires Federal Student Aid Estimator results, an unofficial transcript, fall enrollment verification, and two essays. The 2026 application ran January 15 through March 22, 2026.
