SCHOLARSHIPS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE PROOF OF
CITIZENSHIP OR RESIDENCY STATUS
This is a partial list of scholarships available to SF State students. For details on each scholarship, pleasevisit and contact each org.for the most up-to-date scholarship information.
At San Francisco State University, we seek to promote scholarship opportunities for ALL students, including undocumented/AB 540 students and international students. In our scholarship database, there are MANY scholarships available that do not require proof of citizenship or residency status, and/or are open specifically to AB 540 students. In fact, the majority of scholarships in our database do not use citizenship to determine eligibility. The scholarships listed below are only a small sample of those available.
To identify other scholarships you might be eligible for: FIRST, search the SF State scholarship databaseby Keyword.THEN, check the requirements listed under the citizenship category. IF it says “Any”, then proof of citizenship or residency status was not part of the scholarship criteria. Undocumented students should use the keyword “AB540” or “DACA” to identify additional scholarships. A number of SF State scholarships use the CA Dream Application to determine financial need including: University Scholarship, Community College Transfer Honor, Ray Uribe, Estella Lara, and Wallace Fund for Diversity Scholarships, Costco Scholarship.
