Your TheDream.US National Program Guide, Payment, and Stipend

Hi TheDream.US National Scholars,

We are back with email 2 of 3 in our Back-to-School series! Today, we’re reminding you to read your National Scholarship Program Guide and sharing a heads up on your Spring scholarship funds and stipend.

  • 2025–2026 National Scholarship Program Guide: Review your Program Guide every term to remind yourself of your Scholar commitments, program requirements, and the resources available to you throughout your college journey. Pro-tip: Bookmark your Program Guide for easy access!
  • Spring Payment and Stipend: Your scholarship funds and stipend are requested by your Partner College every term once your enrollment is confirmed. Once we receive the request, funds for all Scholars at your Partner College are sent directly to your Partner College toward the middle of the semester. Your Partner College then applies your scholarship funds to your student account and releases your stipend to you.
    • New Resource: You can now check where your payment is on the 2025-26 EVR Status Report. Later this term, this link will be available to you in your ISTS Scholar Portal. You can contact your Scholar Advisor (Password: collegedream) for additional updates once payment has been sent to the college.
  • Service Hold Preventing Course Drops: Your Partner College will place holds on your account, preventing your courses from being dropped while scholarship funds are being processed.

If you still have questions after consulting your Program Guide, you can reach out to [email protected].

Have a great semester, we are here to support you!

All the best,

TheDream.US Team
