Your immigration status can't determine who you'll become. We empower Virginia students whose status creates barriers to higher education.

The Dream Project scholarship will open on January 2, 2025! This program awards $4,000 to 100 high-achieving students. This is a valuable opportunity for immigrant students in Virginia to get closer to achieving their dreams. 🎉 https://t.co/u1o5sWm9tG

“Increase resources and support to all students regardless of immigration status, so that all students who go through our public school system are able to benefit equally and contribute back to the communities they grew up in.” — Dream Project Executive Director Karen Vallejos

What began as an investigation into why students are missing school at an alarming rate led to a deeper examination of the federal government's and Virginia's role in providing an education for all students, regardless of immigration status.
