Tam Tran and Cinthya Felix Immigrant Achievers Scholarship

Undocumented and DACA students at the 天美传媒 are strongly encouraged to apply for the Tam Tran and Cinthya Felix Immigrant Achievers Scholarship. This scholarship was created as a collaboration between the Immigrant Task Force on campus; a collective of individual students, faculty, administrators, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and University Advancement. We realized that almost half of students come from immigrant families, however, many students that have DACA, TPS, or are undocumented are not eligible for federal financial aid. This scholarship was created to financially support students that have limited opportunities for scholarships and other aid. 

Please review scholarship criteria and apply through
