Dream Fund Project
The Latin American Coalition receives funding from the Dream Fund to support its efforts to increase college and university opportunities for immigrant and migrant students. The Latin American Coalition engages in public education and internet advocacy with students, community members and non-immigrant communities in order to increase the number of leaders and spokespersons committed to opportunity and access. The Latin American Coalition also provides support services to students that are currently denied access to the community college system by working with local high schools as well as establishing a scholarship fund. The Coalition hopes to increase its regional coordination by continuing to work in statewide networks and coalitions seeking to increase access to higher education for undocumented students.
