ISH: Immigrant Scholarship Hustle
A program for Undocumented youth, by Undocumented youth
ISH empowers students to tell their stories, learn how to use their lived experiences to expand their education and employment options, and ultimately advocate for their immigrant community. Students leave ISH with the support networks, community resources and confidence to apply to college, jobs, and more.
Approximately 2,000 Undocumented youth graduate from Arizona high schools every year, with most lacking the institutional guidance and supportive network they deserve. We are re-envisioning post-secondary educational pathways that honor the knowledge, resilience, and power of Undocumented youth.
OUR CAMPAIGN: "WE ARE ISH" is all about leveraging community networks and power to redistribute resources to Undocumented youth in Arizona. Join us by making a donation today! Campaign dates: September 4th - 30th.
