Financial Aid

Rejected
Grant #113521

Dec 14, 2022

Request Details
Good afternoon,

My name is Arlin Téllez (she/they), I am an active organizer with Sanctuary DMV, ICE out of DC, and Ward 1 DC Mutual Aid. I am undocumented, queer, non-binary indigenous person living in DC, I have been organizing for immigrant rights for the past 5 years since I was 18. My scholarship was recently taken away from me and because of my legal status, I have no way of attaining a loan or asking for federal financial aid because I am undocumented. Unfortunately, the loss of my scholarship has left me with no home and has left me one semester short of finishing my degree. I understand that the sum is large and if possible, I would really appreciate receiving the whole sum.

Thank you <3 in Solidarity, 

$10,038.00 USD

Total amount $10,038.00 USD
