Anouncements

“Every year, high schools around the country graduate approximately 65,000 immigrant students. Brought to this country by their parents as young children, many have grown up in the United States, attended U.S. K-12 schools, and share in our American culture and values. Some have little memory of their homeland or their native language. Like their U.S.-born peers, these individuals share the same dream of pursuing a higher education. Unfortunately, due to their immigration status, they are typically barred from many of the opportunities that currently make a college education affordable – in-state tuition rates, state and federal grants and loans, most private scholarships, and the ability to work legally to earn their way through college. In effect, through no act of their own, they are denied the opportunity to share in the “American Dream.”

If passed, the “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act,” S. 2075, a bipartisan federal proposal led by Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Richard Lugar (R-IN), would facilitate access to postsecondary educational opportunities for immigrant students in the United States who currently face barriers in pursuing a college education. The “DREAM Act” would also allow hardworking immigrant youth"
