"I want undocumented students to know that they CAN go to college.
I’m pursuing a Health and Human Services career at the University at Buffalo in the Honors College. This would not have been possible without the support of people who believed in me and without the Adelante Scholarship."
- Maria, 2022 Scholarship Winner
Giving to the Adelante College Scholarship Fund is an opportunity to contribute to undocumented college students' education. Undocumented college students are ineligible for federal financial aid like Pell, loans, and work-study, and are excluded from certain institutional and foundation scholarships. For this reason, private donations like yours are critical. Adelante members work hard on their journeys through higher education. The scholarship recognizes and honors that accomplishment and can sometimes be the difference between finishing a degree and taking a pause to work.
Last year alone, we issued $8,000 in scholarships. Any amount you can contribute helps us towards our goal!
