We at DFW International community Alliance recognize thesignificant role education has played in our nations growth

and success as well as in the ability of its inhabitants to

pursue their right to happiness. For several years we haveoffered this Scholarship Guide as a downloadable

database for minority students and for children of New

Americans who may not be aware of the manyopportunities for scholarships available to them. Finally,

thanks to the support of Citigroup, we are able to makeavailable printed copies of the Guide.

Over 40% of North Texas population is composed of

immigrants and their children. Their impact in our

cultural, economic and political well-being must be

recognized and supported. As they continue to

assimilate, their hopes and dreams become the story of

our country to the rest of the world.

This Guide is a small symbol of our gratitude to them

and to the dedicated educators who wish to assist them

to reach their personal and economic goals.
