Why Support the Dream Project?

The Dream Project stands as the bridge between a student’s potential and their future — and for hundreds of immigrant students across Virginia, we are the difference between a dream deferred and a degree earned. The Dream Project stands as a testament to the power of community and the transformative impact of education.

As the political climate grows increasingly uncertain and barriers to higher education continue to rise, Dream Project's work has never been more critical.

Today, we are building toward our boldest vision yet. By our 20th anniversary in 2030, Dream Project is committed to providing 200 full-tuition renewable scholarships annually, doubling our current capacity and ensuring that more students than ever have the financial foundation they need to see college through to graduation.

Join the dream!

Together, we are building a world where educational equity and opportunity are a reality for every immigrant student.
