Please tell DACA students about this opportunity.

University of Washington and TheDream.us have partnered to provide scholarships to qualified undocumented students who transfer from a two-year college to the UW.

TheDream.US expects to provide scholarships to 10 to 20 students on the UW campus in Seattle each year. The scholarship award will cover tuition and fees up to a maximum of $7,250 per year, renewable for up to two years, with a maximum award of $14,500. Students who receive the scholarship must be accepted to and enroll full-time at the UW’s Seattle campus in the fall of 2018-19.

The application period for the 2018-19 scholarship closes on March 1, 2018***. TheDream.US awardees are notified in late April. Students who have graduated with an associate’s degree or will be graduating this spring can apply for the scholarship here.

***Note that the application date for UW itself is Feb. 15. Apply for transfer to UW here.

To all Faculty and Staff:

We’d like to remind you about Shoreline Early Alert (SEA). SEA is designed to provide academic intervention to students encountering difficulty in the pursuit of their academic goals. We recognize that intervention is a process and may not produce immediate results. That is why it is our goal is to reach out to the student early in the quarter and connect them to the appropriate resources. Your referrals are extremely important in supporting our students!

MAKE A REFERRAL!
Use the SEA Referral Form to make a referral. A SEA Team member will respond within 24 hours by reaching out to the student. We will continue to provide outreach to the student in order to connect with them and then send a follow up to you, the referrer.

Examples of SEA referrals include: 

• Low test or quiz scores
• Difficulties with attendance, tardiness, or pacing with class
• Excessive missing assignments
• Lack of participation or communication
• Connecting to support and resources
• External concerns (e.g. family issues, financial matters)

Please visit our intranet site to learn more about SEA or to locate the Referral Form.

We look forward to our continued partnership with you to support our students!

Thanks,
SEA Team
