Hello Berkeley High School Community,


For many years, the Berkeley High School counselors have been managing a
couple of scholarship programs for BHS seniors.  One in particular is
focused entirely on supporting our undocumented seniors as they head off to
college.  The Aragon Family Scholarship was created in memory of Raul
Aragon from Cal State University Northridge, who began supporting our
undocumented BHS seniors many years ago.  100% of money donated goes
directly to undocumented BHS seniors as college scholarships.


Although California does a lot to support undocumented students, these
young scholars are not eligible for any federal grants/scholarships/loans.
This often leaves them struggling to be able to afford college like their
documented peers.  The BHS counselors have been raising money ourselves for
this scholarship, but our resources are limited and we are never able to
award as much money as we would like to our undocumented seniors.  We know
that many generous community members are interested in supporting our EL
and our undocumented students, and this is an option that could make a huge
difference in the lives of these amazing young people.


If anyone would like to help support these students with scholarship
donations, here is the relevant information:


*Aragon Family Scholarship*

* Donations of any amount are welcome.

* Checks should be made payable to BHSDG with *Aragon Family Scholarship*
noted on the check.

* Alternately, donations can be made online at http://bhsdg.org/wp/give/
with *Aragon Family Scholarship* typed into the Pay Field.

* All donations are tax deductible.

* For any questions, feel free to contact terigoodman at berkeley.net

Thank you!

The Berkeley High School Counseling Department
