Dream Project Scholarship

The Dream Project Scholarship supports immigrant students in Virginia whose immigration status creates barriers to higher education, including students who are undocumented or have DACA, TPS, or a pending asylum application. It awards $4,500 annually, renewable for up to five years, through college graduation.

Applicants must have graduated or be graduating from a Virginia high school, identify as an immigrant whose immigration status creates a barrier, plan to enroll full time in an accredited two- or four-year university in the United States, and maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA. Renewing scholars must keep a 2.5 GPA, make timely progress toward graduation, and attend at least two Dream Project events.

Applications are submitted through the program's online portal with recommender letters, followed by online interviews. The 2026 deadline was February 9, 2026; applications reopen in January.
