Program	Undocumented Student Scholarship
Organization	Hampshire College
Opportunity Type	Scholarship
About the Program	A new scholarship and endowment at Hampshire College will provide funding for undocumented students accepted into the school. The endowment was created to provide upwards of $25,000 in financial aid per year to assist students with undocumented immigrant citizenship status who have been accepted into Hampshire. These are students who were brought to this country as babies or young children and attended U.S. schools, but, because they were not born here, do not have official citizenship status.

Program Benefits

Scholarship Amount	Upwards of $25,000 per year
Renewable?	Yes
Additional Details	If a student has already received an award package from Hampshire and later receives an endowed scholarship, the Hampshire grant will be reduced by the amount of the endowed scholarship.

Requirements

Description	Must have undocumented immigrant citizenship status and be accepted into Hampshire. There is no separate application for these funds. The financial aid office determines the recipients according to the donors’ criteria, and those students receive endowed scholarships as part of their regular Hampshire grant awards. Hampshire College grants are funded out of Hampshire's general revenue and by private gifts designated for financial aid. The PROFILE and Noncustodial PROFILE (if applicable) serve as the application for this program. These grants are provided after self-help (loan and work) and after all of the funds from the programs listed above have been applied. Hampshire grants are credited directly to the student's account.
