Description
The North Carolina legal team also has vast experience helping young undocumented immigrants receive relief through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival–or DACA.
Through DACA, undocumented students may be able to pursue a higher education in the United States. They understand how difficult it can be for many of these students to receive financial assistance when attending college. Through our Vasquez Law Firm DACA Dreamer Scholarship, they hope to make the dream of pursuing a college education more attainable for these students.
