Scholarships for ALL students regardless of residency status- Becas para TODO estudiante sin necesidad de la residencia legal
Page 3: General
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 should
directly 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.
*Contact each scholarship provider for applications and details about updated requirements and deadlines*
*Comuníquese con el proveedor de cada beca para investigar los requisitos y plazos vigentes*
*Esta es una lista extensiva de becas que tal vez no pregunten sobre su estatus migratorio o requieran un
número de seguro social valido para redimir la beca. Les sugerimos que busque entre la lista y seleccione las
becas que son aplicables a usted. En general, si llenas una aplicación que pide tu número de seguro social y
aún no tienes uno, entonces deja ese espacio en blanco, pero llena la aplicación y entrégala. Mentir sobre tu
estatus migratorio o proveer un seguro falso es un crimen federal. Adicionalmente, Ud. debe de contactar la
organización que esta ofreciendo esas becas y pregunte si Ud. califica para recibir esa beca. También
sugerimos que revise otros directorios de becas para informarse sobre otras becas disponibles, tales como las
que están al fin de este documento. NO pague a ninguna organización, compañía, o persona para aplicar a
becas o para recibir listas de becas. Las becas legítimas NUNCA cobran una tarifa. Tenga cuidado con
estafas de becas.
