2018 Scholarship for Hispanic Student

Chicago Immigration Attorney Gerald Cipolla of Cipolla Law Group is offering an annual scholarship to a current student who is of Hispanic heritage or DACA recipient.  The $1,000 scholarship will be awarded annually and is intended to help one Hispanic or 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 immigrants and realize the contribution that they make to the United States.  We hope this scholarship will help encouraging our Dreamers/young immigrants and alleviate some of the financial strain.
