Scholarships for Immigrants and International Students

Last week we highlighted DFW International Community Alliance for the extraordinary work they are doing of linking different international communities together.

As I spent more time on their website I came across a wonderful guide on colleges and scholarships geared to immigrants or children of immigrants.

When I was going to college it was almost impossible to find scholarships geared towards immigrants. They were either very few or we just never heard about them.

The guide that DFW Alliance has put together is a very valuable resource for anyone interested in attending college. It is divided in to 4 very helpful sections:

  1. Preparing for College
  2. How to Enroll in College
  3. Financial Aid
  4. Directory of Scholarships—this section includes scholarships for colleges and technical (vocational) schools plus stud abroad programs.

You may have completed your studies but I am sure you know someone who is still in high school or even currently in college. Please forward this guide to them. You could make a very big difference in someone’s life.
