ALSO update on:
Hispanic Scholarship Fund
"Fidel Vargas, Hispanic Scholarship Fund president and CEO, said his group wants to award scholarships to young immigrants lacking permanent legal status."

This is the direct result of DREAMers and allies pushing HSF on this issue. I'm referring to the following petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/hispanic-scholarship-fund-open-up-scholarship-monies-to-dream-students
It sounds like it is limited to those with DACA right now, but is an important first step. Let's make sure it's not the last one! If you are a student don't forget to apply for this years cycle!
