New Roots

This website is designed for low-income immigrant/first-generation high school seniors in California. It's a struggle to find jobs without citizenship status or figure out what to do for college when your parents can't help. This website is made for you, it offers a wide range of career-specific scholarships, work and internship opportunities, and student competitions.

None of the scholarships should require you to be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident (but for some do require DACA or work permit). Everything else should be free or minimal cost (around 30 dollars or less) to participate (there are also full and partial scholarships for these fees). Explore the pages below to see what areas are of interest. Even if what is listed above doesn't apply to you be sure to check out the scholarship and work opportunities, a lot of these scholarships are renewable each year and for undergraduates too.
