Dream Project, Inc

Our Purpose Educational equity, opportunity, and inclusion create a world where all students can pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential. Founded on community solidarity and family determination, the Dream Project is one of the few programs in Virginia that offers scholarships and mentoring to undocumented students. The Dream Project was established in 2010, when a small group of high school students, their parents, and community members came together to discuss how to support undocumented students who faced significant rising barriers to higher education. Determined to make a difference, the founding parents organized events and fundraisers to provide scholarships for their children and others in similar situations.

The Dream Project empowers students from Virginia’s immigrant community to succeed in college or vocational training through scholarships, mentoring, family engagement, and holistic support throughout their education
