We are offering Professional Conference Grants for current Scholars to attend the 2023 Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) National Convention this November in Salt Lake City, UT. We have extended the application deadline to Friday, September 1st.

Attending this conference is an excellent professional opportunity for current Scholars who are majoring in STEM or Social Sciences fields to create connections and build relationships with professionals and other TheDream.US Scholars who share their career interests.

TheDream.US grant will cover:

• Conference registration fee 
• Air/train fare 
• 3 nights of lodging at the conference hotel 

Please share this flyer and encourage your current STEM/Social Sciences Scholars to apply here by September 1st.

The DreamBuilders Internship Program connects TheDream.US Alumni with current Scholars to create valuable internship experiences that promote mentorship and professional growth. This initiative enables Alumni to host Scholar interns who are currently enrolled, with payment for the internship covered by TheDream.US.

Program Phases:

1. Promotion to Alumni (Ongoing): We're actively promoting this opportunity to our Alumni. An initial email was sent on August 15, and you can view it here. Alumni can post internships on Parker Dewey via our program website: link.

Please promote this opportunity to your TheDream.US Alumni 

1. Promotion to Scholars (Starting Late August): We'll soon be reaching out to our Scholars, urging them to apply for these internships.
