"Even more more valuable than the scholarship money was having the emotional support."
Updated September 18, 2025: Starting Fall 2025, Immigrants Rising will offer programming for pre-law students through the Career Activity Groups. We will no longer be offering the Pre-Law Program (which includes Pre-Law 101 Webinar, Pre-Law Bootcamp, and Pre-Law Fund). If you are an undocumented pre-law student or are interested in a career in law, please check out the Career Activity Groups’ law cohort.
“I realized that I am not alone on this journey. So many other undocumented folks also want to become lawyers.” — Stephanie Medina, Pre-Law Fund Grantee
