The Dream.US National Scholarship

TheDream.US National Scholarship is for highly motivated DREAMers who want nothing more than to get a college education but are unable to afford the cost. They have no access to federal aid, limited access to state aid, and sometimes face paying out-of-state tuition. The Scholarship is for first-time college students or community college graduates only. 

The College of Staten Island (CSI) is proud to be a Partner College of TheDream.US.
