The deadline to submit Summer EVRs is coming up next week on Thursday, July 31, 2025!
If you have any EVR questions, please contact Elena.Salorio@thedream.us and Camila.Salkov@thedream.us
| 2025 Renewal Decisions will be emailed to Scholars this Friday, July 25, 2025 | |
ISTS will email 2025 Renewal notifications to Scholars this Friday, July 25. We will be giving them a heads-up this week to be on the lookout for the email.
On Friday morning, you can track Renewal decisions for your Scholars by running the “PC Scholar Report” in your ISTS PC Portal.
Scholars and Partner Colleges will be able to readily access the reason for a renewal denial. Scholars must log into their ISTS Scholar Portal to access this information and Partner Colleges can access this information in the “PC Scholar Report” under Column AC.
Looking Ahead: If Scholars missed the initial Renewal deadline, they will have a last chance opportunity to renew their scholarship between August 4 and August 10. These Scholars will be getting a heads-up email today to prepare.
| Are You Screening the Nationwide New Scholar Welcome on Your Campus? | | |
We highly encourage you to provide an opportunity for New Scholars to come together in-person on your campus to screen our virtual Nationwide New Scholar Welcome event held on Thursday, August 7th, 2025, 2pm EDT, 11am PT, 1pm CT. You will be receiving New Scholar Swag before the event, so it will be great timing to distribute to your incoming Scholars.

DACA is under threat. We are witnessing an increase in DACA renewals delays becoming more prevalent. Encourage your Scholars to renew early, at least 150 days before their DACA expires. Check out this great resource on our Instagram for more valuable information.
There are a number of renewal fee assistance programs including Mission Asset Fund, providing 0% interest loans, and Mexican consulates that are providing grants.
