Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The cost of one year at the University of Texas at Austin can reach upwards to  $28,756. This includes tuition, fees, books and housing. Undocumented and/or DACA students are ineligible to receive federal financial aid, and therefore the cost of higher education is prohibitive.

Our fundraising total last year was $7,740 and this year we hope to raise $10,000 towards the tuition, fees and expenses for first-gen, DACA and/or undocumented scholars. We believe that it is important to invest in the education of future teachers and community service workers who happen to have undocumented status.

The scholarships will range from $250 to $1000 and are open to first-generation students who are undocumented and/or DACA recipients who are enrolled in the College of Education in multiple career preparation pathways. We hope to meet the financial needs of as many undocumented scholars within the College of Education at UT as we can. 

Your donation is made to AAABE and is earmarked specifically for the AAABE/College of Education Undocumented Scholarship Fund. 

We appreciate your contribution!
