Thank you to those who already completed this request!

If you haven't yet, please review and complete this Google Sheet for your (Spring, Summer & Fall 2024) graduating Scholars by Wednesday, March 27^th at 5 pm PT. Please note:

• If your College is not on the list, please add to the end of the list
• Indicate when you are done by selecting "updated" in column A; if you do not need stoles this year, select “No Stoles Needed”

Packages and tracking information will be sent to you in mid-to-late April. If you have any questions, please email chris.aviles@thedream.us.  

The following PCs may now begin submitting their Q3 EVRs:

•    Kingsborough Community College
•    National Louis University
•    Portland State University
•    Stella and Charles Guttman Community College
•    Western Oregon University

The instructions and video tutorial for those new to the process or need a refresher can be found in the Program Management section on our website.

Quarter 3 EVRs are due by April 30th.

Please reach out to Elena and Camila with EVR questions, or contact the ISTS PC Help Desk at TheDream.US_Support@applyISTS.com.

Please be on the lookout for the returned EVR email from ISTS today. The funds for the final group of Spring/Q2 EVRs are being sent this week - see list here.

Reminder: Each Scholar has an individual scholarship account that their funds are paid from. The specified amount sent for each Scholar is detailed in the finalized EVR. Under no circumstances should funds allocated for one Scholar be diverted to another Scholar's account. If you have an overage of funds, it should always be sent back to ISTS so that they can be returned to the appropriate Scholar's account.

If you have questions about a Scholar and whether or not they should receive an award in any given term, reach out to Elena and Camila.
