Your immigration status doesn't need to limit your access to money to help cover your college expenses… if you know where to look! The Miramar Dreamers Support Office has compiled many resources and information about scholarship opportunities for students regardless of their immigration status. Due to how often scholarship deadlines change, you won't find links to specific award opportunities here, but we do encourage you to reach out to our office for the most up-to-date scholarship information we have available.

Miramar Scholarships
Through the generosity of the Miramar Foundation, faculty, staff, departments, campus organizations, and private citizens, the Miramar College Scholarship Office is pleased to offer a variety of student scholarships. We encourage all students to apply!
To apply for internal scholarships, you will need to create your online profile on the San Diego Miramar College Scholarship Opportunities homepage at sdmiramar.academicworks.com. If you need help registering, use this step-by-step guide to creating an account.
Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis using criteria set by sponsors and donors. Scholarships are available to qualified students based on need, merit, major, and/or educational goals. An announcement of recipients will be made once students are selected and notified, typically by the end of March. The Miramar Scholarship Award Ceremony takes place in April.
The 2022/23 Undocu-Scholarship Activity Booklet is here! Pick up your workbook from either the Dreamers Office (K1-304) or the Financial Aid Office (K1-312), or you can download a digital copy using the teal button below.
