Hispanic Federation Will Award 100 DREAMers $50,000 to Apply for Deferred Action
08.30.12
In the midst of rejoicing with the still-new news of DREAMers being able to obtain protection from deportation and receive work permits for at least two years, there's a harsh reality for those who qualify for deferred action: the cost of applying. At $475 per applicant, it's not a small fee, especially for families with multiple eligible DREAMers. This is why the Hispanic Federation, along with 10 Latino nonprofit partner organizations, is going to award $50,000 to aid 100 deserving, eligible immigrant youth applying for the Obama's Administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Immigration Program.
DREAMerslooking to confirm their eligibility and apply for assistance with the application fee must do so through the 10 partner organizations, which are listed below:
