Are you graduating from High School and do not know how to continue your education?

Think Outside the Box !

What can an undocumented student do to continue getting an education and fulfill the requirements of the DREAM Act?

What to do to advance the education of DREAM Act candidates and help our communities and Arizona to advance and succeed?

1.- Do not give up !!! Get great grades in high school, Do NOT be discouraged. The people who are passing  anti-education laws will be happy if you quit. Do not let them win !

2-The Manzana Fundation is offering affordable college courses trough a partnership with Navajo Technical College.

3.- Seek education on line in other Counties in Arizona and other States in the Nation.  Please do your homework and compare tuition rates. The key is that the colleges should be accreditated.

4.-Seek information on private universities (Catholic Universities and Christian Universities are a good option to start) and ask for their scholarship programs.

5.-Enroll to ONE  or TWO classes at the Maricopa Community Colleges system, on line (Rio Salado College) or Phoenix, Estrella, Paradise Valley, etc. so you adquire a student ID, can participate on the on-campus activities and use their resources, (for example participate in the clubs and associations).

We are asking you to think outside the box!!!! create your own options using  and combining some of the resources at your own convenience and budget !!! 

BE SMART !!!!!  DO NOT GIVE UP !!!!

Advocates are working hard to provide other options.  Stay tuned to this website and others similar to get the latest news. Participate on all advocacy groups like the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition. Networking with DREAMers is empowering!



We will keep you informed !!!

What is the DREAM Act?

The Dream Act is a proposal that has been discussed in Congress since 2001. It has been re-introduced every year but unfortunately has never made it for a full vote.

Under the provisions of this bill, those immigrants who came to the United States as children and are part of our communities are eligible for temporary legal status under certain conditions. 

The students need to have been in the US  five years prior to the passage of the legislation and under the age of 16 at the time of entry.

Upon completion of two years of post-secondary education or two years of military service, if the applicant demonstrates good moral character, he or she can apply for permanent residency.

This is the golden opportunity many students hope for.

Great Web Resource Center !!!
