For ALL Students Regardless of Immigration Status*Para TODO Estudiante Sin Importar su Estatus Migratorio*
Last Updated 11/08
*This is an extensive list of scholarships that may not inquire about immigration status or require a valid social
security number to redeem the award. It is suggested that you look through the scholarship list and select
scholarships that are applicable to you. As a general rule, if an application asks for your social security
number and you do not have one yet, leave that space blank but fill out and turn in the application. Lying
about your legal status or providing a false social security is a federal offense. Additionally, you shoulddirectly contact the organization that offers those specific scholarships and ask if you meet the criteria to
receive the scholarship. We also suggest that you review other scholarship lists for other possible scholarships
available, as listed at the end of this document. DO NOT pay any organization, company, or individual to
apply for scholarships or for scholarship lists. Legitimate scholarships NEVER ask for an application
fee. Beware of scholarship scams.
*Esta es una lista extensiva de becas que tal vez no pregunten sobre su estatus migratorio o requieran un
nmero de seguro social valido para redimir la beca. Les sugerimos que busque entre la lista y seleccione lasbecas que son aplicables a usted. En general, si llenas una aplicacin que pide tu nmero de seguro social y
an no tienes uno, entonces deja ese espacio en blanco, pero llena la aplicacin y entrgala. Mentir sobre tu
estatus migratorio o proveer un seguro falso es un crimen federal. Adicionalmente, Ud. debe de contactar la
organizacin que esta ofreciendo esas becas y pregunte si Ud. califica para recibir esa beca. Tambin
sugerimos que revise otros directorios de becas para informarse sobre otras becas disponibles, tales como las
que estn al fin de este documento. NO pague a ninguna organizacin, compaa, o persona para aplicar a
becas o para recibir listas de becas. Las becas legtimas NUNCA cobran una tarifa. Tenga cuidado conestafas de becas.
