| | TheDream.US Graduate Resources | | |
It is that time of the year when your Scholars are graduating and many are looking into resources to explore graduate degrees. TheDream.US has a number of resources available to assist Scholars and Alumni in this process!
As you advise your Scholars, please be sure to use our Graduate Resources Page as a reference to learn more about our partnership with Kaplan, offering free test prep courses such as the LSAT, MCAT, GRE, GMAT, and more. We also have 50% discount codes for the GRE examination fee and sample test.
Moreover, our resource page features both internal and external listings of graduate scholarships, loans, and guides designed to support the application and attendance process for graduate school programs.
| | Immigration Screenings with a Trusted Attorney | | |
TheDream.US has partnered with an attorney to provide one-on-one immigration screenings to inform Current Scholars of any potential pathways they may have to adjust their status. Over 800 Scholars and Alum have already gone through this safe and easy process! Screenings are confidential and will not affect their Scholarship.
Inform your Scholars to start this process today by completing the Initial Screening Request Form. If they have already gone through one of our screenings, they should not submit a new request.
