Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund

Scholarships/Becas

For ALL Students Regardless of Immigration Status

In order to qualify for state and federal financial aid, students must be legal permanent residents or citizens. If a student is not yet a legal permanent resident, they should look to private scholarships to help with expenses. The scholarships on this list do not require a social security number, legal residency, or citizenship.  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.  Family saving and fundraising can also supplement educational costs.
