SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
The New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) aims to achieve a fairer and more
just society that values the contributions of immigrants and extends
opportunity to all. The NYIC promotes immigrants’ full civic participation,
fosters their leadership, and provides a unified voice and a vehicle for
collective action for New York’s diverse immigrant communities.
The NYIC in partnership with the Fund for Public Advocacy is launching its
first ever “Dream Fellowship”—a semester long internship and scholarship
program that will place DREAM Act-eligible students with community
organizations that work to improve the lives of immigrant youth and their
families. Students will also have the opportunity to attend a supplemental
training program that will provide them with invaluable skills and knowledge
to advocate on behalf of immigrant communities. Selected students will
demonstrate excellence beyond academic achievement; they will be students
who have a proven track record of leadership and community service who want
to deepen their skills while continuing their education.
The NYIC will award ten exceptional City University of New York students a $
2000 scholarship based on acceptance to the fellowship.
In order to qualify, students must meet the following eligibility
requirements:
Be full time or part time CUNY students at the time of application with at

to commit 7 hours per week during the 2012 academic Spring semester;
