    • Undocumented students have always had limited access to scholarships and aid resulting in many students competing for the same few scholarships. Submitting scholarship applications can be a time-consuming and taxing process, which is why, in addition to having more scholarships accessible to undocumented students, transparent language around scholarship eligibility is hugely important.

      When seeking to expand the accessibility of scholarships at your institution or in your community, your first step may be to connect with scholarship administrators. Asking clarifying questions to understand why undocumented students might be excluded and if that can be changed will help you understand what next steps you should take. This resource provides some best practices for this outreach and email templates you can use.
