Ducks Give '22

Make it possible for our Dreamer students to graduate from the University of Oregon by making a gift to our UO Dreamers Scholarship Fund. 

Dreamers are students at the UO whose presence in the U.S. is undocumented or who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) status. The UO Dreamer Scholarship can make a profound difference for these students as they do not qualify for federal aid and are ineligible for many other forms of financial aid, including most student loans. It is common for students to take a term off to work and raise money for tuition, or to work two or three part-time jobs while they are enrolled.   

Every year in Oregon, Dreamers transition from high school to college to continue learning and growing. They are enthusiastic to make an impact in their communities and to support their families through higher education.

You can be a part of reducing uncertainty and anxiety and helping our Dreamers to graduate. Join us today with a contribution to the Dreamers Scholarship. This scholarship provides important, transformational financial relief, allowing enrolled students progressing toward graduation to fulfill their goal of becoming Duck alumni. The Dreamers Scholarship focuses on intervening with larger awards at pivotal times in a student's education.   

Your thoughtful gift during Ducks Give will help us reach our goals and ensure more students have access to vital financial support.    

The UO continues to commit to serving our Dreamer students and has trained over 400 Dreamer allies. Additional resources for Dreamers and their families can be found at our UO Dreamers webpage the or the UO Dreamers Working Group Blog.  For more information about Dreamer allies, email the Dreamers Working Group.
