DACA Scholarship Update - November

from Mohammad Abdollahi, DreamActivist.org

Thanks to support from you and people just like you we are now on the 3rd month of our DACA Scholarship. That means we've awarded more than $1,860 so far!

Donate: Help Sponsor a DREAMers DACA Fee!

Our first winner Diane just got back to us; she's in the final stages of gathering her needed paperwork and plans on applying soon. This year Diane started college in Alabama; despite having to pay out-of-state tuition she's grateful for the chance to go to school. She wanted us to pass on a big thank you to everyone who made her DACA possible!

Now onto our November update. As you know each month we need to raise $930 in order to be able to award two-DACA scholarships; this month we've already raised an amazing $810.That means in order to reach our November goal we only have to raise an additional $120! Will you be one of our November donors by donating $15, $30 or $60 to help us reach that goal?

The Deferred Action Waiver Scholarship was set up in September to award undocumented activists with a scholarship to cover their Deferred Action fee. We recognize that many of the activists we work with on a daily basis do not have the financial means to apply for Deferred Action and so this fund will try to meet the needs of these activists.

We just left the post office where we dropped off two more checks to cover DACA fees you all helped sponsor. Now, with your help, this won't be our last trip to the post office. Can you help us reach our final $120 goal? That means we need just 4 or 5 people to donate at least $30 each and we'll be there! Your donations will help us sponsor another DREAMer just like Diane. Thank you.

Much love,
