font-family:Arial'>Over 65,000 undocumented students graduate from High School
each year across the United States. At least 25,000 are from our State of
California. Due to their immigration status these students are ineligible
for all Federal and State funded government financial aid. They forfeit
the pursuit of their dreams to attend a four-year University or College
Institution as well as the opportunity of becoming talented doctors, nurses,
lawyers, secondary school teachers, entrepreneurs, electrical engineers, and
researchers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Our student organization, therefore, recognizes that all
students regardless of their citizenship status should have access to a higher
education. With the objective to close the educational gap among
underrepresented communities, we seek to recruit, inform, and retain students
from this particular background by providing them with the necessary resources
to successfully navigate and achieve a higher education in order for them to
contribute to the well-being of our State economy.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Your DREAMS" AB-540 Conference occurring on Saturday April 2nd, 2011 from
9am-5:00pm at our University of California, Berkeley campus. Our Annual
Conference will provide multiple workshops regarding alternative financial aid
opportunities, academic support as well as additional resources essential for
them to successfully achieve a higher education at the University or College of
their choice. We expect over 350 High School and Community College
students as well as concerned parents from all over the San Francisco Bay Area
to attend our conference based on previous attendance records. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
