DREAMer Emergency Fund

Support our DREAMers
MSU Denver is dedicated to increasing access, retention, and graduation rates for DREAMer students. DREAMers are young, undocumented immigrants who often experience considerable financial need, yet have no access to federal financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans, and work study programs). The Center for American Progress recently reported that 74% of undocumented students who left school reported this was due to financial difficulties.

Last year, more than $23,000 was awarded to DREAMer students that needed emergency support for expenses such as rent expenses, medical bills and DACA renewal fees. Your support for the DREAMer Emergency Fund helps these students finish their degrees and make a difference in their communities.

"It's not just the ability to apply for emergency funds that is so helpful, but the resources that you educate students on and support us in accessing! I genuinely could not have gotten by without additional vehicle repairs, and I would never have known about the community resource if not for your office."
