About The Undocuship Matrix The “Undocuship Matrix” is a scholarship guide created by College Depot at Phoenix Public Library, located on the second floor of

Burton Barr Central Library in Phoenix, Arizona, has been compiled through a number of scholarship resources to specifically

benefit Undocumented (non-U.S. citizens or residents) and DACA-Eligible students who live in Arizona. The Scholarships are

organized in order of month and there are also lists of Arizona-Specific Scholarships and General Scholarship Resources outside of

this particular resource. Make sure that you look through these sources to confirm updated deadlines in addition to checking the

websites of the scholarships themselves. At the time of the creation of this document, not all of the upcoming scholarship

deadlines had been posted or updated.

DACA Eligible— What does that mean? Those who are qualified for DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals as defined by the United States Citizenship and

Immigration Services, are individuals who meet the following qualifications and have received their DACA approved;

1. Individuals who were under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012;

2. Came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;

3. Have continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, up to the present time;

4. Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making your request for consideration of deferred action with the USCIS;

5. Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012, meaning that:

You never had a lawful immigration status on or before June 15, 2012, or

Any lawful immigration status or parole that you obtained prior to June 15, 2012, had expired as of June 15, 2012;

6. Are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States; and

7. Have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.

This scholarship guide highlights DACA –Eligible scholarships in green underneath the name of the scholarship. The rest of the

scholarships listed do not require any kind of legal status. At the same time, this also means that some of these scholarships are

still open to U. S. Citizens and residents. Thus, they are open to a greater pool. Some of these scholarships may be only open to

DACA students, and some of them may only be open to Undocumented/DREAMer students.

Apply to Local Scholarships First

Above all other scholarships, Arizona’s Undocumented and DACA-Eligible students should primarily focus on scholarships which are

specific to Arizona students. These scholarships will statistically give these students a higher chance of receiving the scholarship, as

they are applying in a smaller pool of applicants. On the next page are Arizona-Specific scholarships in addition to scholarships

which are for students attending a specific college or university in Arizona. When you are applying to schools, keep in mind which

colleges or universities will give you more aid, in addition to which scholarships are available at each college.

National and International Scholarships

National scholarships will have a higher number of applicants and therefore are more competitive. Unless otherwise marked (with

Arizona/Local Scholarship, or International Scholarship), the scholarships in this scholarship resource guide are National

Scholarships. A few of the scholarships in this guide are International Scholarships, which means that people around the world may

be applying to these scholarships. Although these scholarships are more competitive, they may sometimes have higher awards

than local scholarships, depending on the type of scholarship.
