2026 First Generation Scholarship

The attorneys at the Godoy Law Office Immigration Lawyers are passionate about assisting immigrant and refugee families to achieve the American Dream. We understand that immigration policies and procedures are complex, and the process can be discouraging for those unfamiliar with U.S. law.

First-generation immigrants and their children face some of the toughest immigration standards in recent history. Immigrants struggle to get on their feet and provide for their families, which is why we want to give back to first-generation immigrants and children of first-generation immigrants through the 2026 First Generation Scholarship. We hope to empower first-generation U.S. college students and celebrate their individuality by awarding them $1,000 to continue their education.

Eligibility

The scholarship is available to those enrolled in an accredited community college, undergraduate, or graduate program. Applicants may still apply if awaiting admission or deciding among institutions. However, the selected individual must be enrolled for the Fall 2026 semester before receiving the financial aid. Employees of Godoy Law Office Immigration Lawyers, their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households of such individuals (whether related or not), are not eligible to participate in the competition. Applicants for this scholarship must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher and maintain good overall academic standing.
