Teachers At Brooklyn School Raise Nearly $36,000 For Undocumented Students’ Scholarship
Posted in: Today's ChiliAt International High School in Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights neighborhood, teachers always told their immigrant students to work hard, apply to college and receive scholarships. However, when faced with undocumented students who could neither afford college nor apply for federal aid, they had nothing to say. Until this year.
A group of five teachers at the high school –- which is composed exclusively of recent immigrants — started a scholarship fund several months ago to help their undocumented students pay for college. So far, they have raised nearly $36,000 for the International Dreamers Scholarship Fund, and they hope to reach a goal of $40,000.
