The deadline for so-called "DREAMers" and certain other immigrants to apply for a college scholarship to study at a local university is just two weeks away. The head of the organization that reviews applications says there is still enough time to get one done.
Feb. 25 is the deadline to apply for a scholarship that can be used this fall to study at Arizona State, Grand Canyon or Benedictine universities. The application has been made as simple as possible, says Candy Marshall, president of TheDream.US, the group that provides the scholarship.
“The only thing students have to upload is a transcript. No immigrant documentation. No financial documentation,” she said.
The transcript can be official or unofficial.
“This application can really be done in a matter of two days, including getting somebody to review your essay,” she said.
Marshall still recommended starting the process at least a week before the deadline in case getting the transcript takes extra time.
