PAS 2015-2016

College-Bound DREAMers The Pritzker Access Scholarship (PAS) was created through the generosity of the Pritzker Foundation and Pritzker Traubert Family Foundation to best prepare Noble’s undocumented students for future success. This scholarship alleviates the financial barriers that our undocumented students face when accessing college and thus makes a four-year post-secondary education possible for college ready DREAMers. The PAS uses philanthropy to replace the federal and state aid that our undocumented students cannot access – up to $12,000 per year per student, and supports undocumented students on the path to college success and to leading exemplary lives.

PAS recipients received up to $12,000/year with an expected family contribution of $2,000. Noble established partnerships with 18 colleges to support DREAMers. !

Partner Co!eges Noble established partnership agreements with 18 colleges interested in becoming national leaders at providing equal access to quality four-year colleges for undocumented students. Partner colleges agree to admit students using the same standards as other Chicago students and meet the full financial need for students after applying the scholarship and family contribution. Between the institutional support, PAS, and family contribution the goal is to completely cover the direct costs of attending college for Noble DREAMers.

On August 6, 2015 Veronica Romo received her PAS scholarship to attend North Park University during a special reception for

recipients and their families.

North Park cost for 2015-2016 is $35,240 including tuition, fess and housing.

12,000 (PAS) + 2,000 (family contribution)

+ 21,240 Institutional Scholarships = Financial Cost Covered
