Boundless American Dream Scholarship

The Scholarship
The Boundless American Dream Scholarship will provide financial support to exceptionally promising students who fulfill the requirements of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and who want to make the world a better place through technology.

Boundless will provide $1,500 to improve the student’s ability to design and build technology that solves real problems, based on the student’s own vision and needs (including but not limited to support for college/university/graduate studies tuition, attending a coding boot camp, taking an online course, attending a professional conference, or building an early-stage prototype product for a startup idea).

The law firm of Fenwick & West has also agreed to match us, offering an additional $1,500 to a second student!

The 2019 Boundless American Dream Scholars will be selected for their academic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to community service.
