Heads Up: Mandatory Scholar Survey + Contact Updates!

As you finish up Spring 2026, we want to share key reminders of mandatory actions you need to take for your scholarship! This includes graduating Seniors!

  • #1 Scholar Survey Launches May 1: Your voice and story are the most effective tools for advocacy and improving TheDream.US program. Completion of your Scholar Survey is not just mandatory; it’s you paying it forward for your community.
  • #2 Update your Personal Contact Information Now: Log into your ISTS Scholar Portal and make sure your email address and phone numbers are up-to-date! Don’t risk missing out on important notifications – even after you graduate.
    • *Take these steps and watch this tutorial:
    • Click on the 3 bar menu on the top righthand corner
    • Select “Preferences” from the dropdown menu
    • Update your email and phone number
  • #3 Track Your Award: Check the Program Summary in your ISTS Scholar Portal and make sure you plan your next steps for completing your degree.
    • Reminder (National Scholars only): If you are transferring Partner Colleges in the Fall or need to take a semester off, you MUST fill out a Request Form.

If you have questions about your Scholarship, please consult your Scholarship Program Guide!

We want you to remember that you are not alone and that we are with you on your college journey! Always feel free to reach out to us via email ([email protected]) or post on our Scholar & Alumni private Facebook page to get advice from other Scholars!

We will be back next week with Pt. 2 reminders for college and career success resources.

In community,
TheDream.US Team
