2018 Scholarship for DACA Recipient
Chicago Immigration Attorney Gerald Cipolla of Cipolla Law Group is offering an annual scholarship to a current student who is a DACA recipient. The $1,000 scholarship will be awarded annually and is intended to help one DACA recipient student with his/her tuition cost.
Since the inception of our immigration law firm in 2007, we have helped hundreds of immigrants to gain their immigration status in the United States. We understand the struggles and needs of many undocumented immigrants and realize the contribution that Dreamers make to the United States. We hope this scholarship will help encouraging our Dreamers and alleviate some of the financial strain.
