Our Best Answer - How do I apply to be a Dream Scholar?
Dream Scholars
Dream Scholars can apply for financial aid by filing the California Dream Application. This application became available following the passage of two California Assembly bills, AB 130 and AB 131. Together, these bills became known as the California Dream Act. The California Dream Act makes certain undocumented students eligible for State and University Financial Aid.
To be eligible to file the California Dream Application, students must:
- Not be eligible to file the FAFSA
- Be eligible for AB 540, as determined by the Office of the Registrar
- Be in a degree-seeking program
For additional resources please check out the UCSB Dream Scholars Resource Team page.
