**This is for the National Scholarship/Applicants only
Dear Partner Colleges,
Here at TheDream.US, we understand the uncertainty and fear our communities, scholars and applicants face during these political times. We want to make sure our applicants also know, that we are here for them, and that we hope that they will consider becoming one of our Scholars. For this, we plan to continue sending inspirational communications to them (as well as text messages) and hosting webinars and a Facebook live session; not only answer their questions, but to remind them – that we welcome them and support them.
Here is the timeline of the events we will host. Please join us if you can!
| Wednesday, 2-1 @ 7PM | Q&A Webinar for Applicants – Sign up here: http://bit.ly/2j6HiVa |
