FULL GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE!

If you are a Dream US Scholar, live, work, study, or have another significant connection to the City of San Francisco, you may qualify for a full grant to cover the $495 of your DACA renewal. We have limited funding; pre-apply now!

How it works

Eligibility 

• Be eligible to apply for DACA. We encourage you to consult an immigration lawyer or a nonprofit legal service provider to confirm eligibility and required documents before applying.

• Be ready to submit your DACA application to USCIS.

• Be able to provide a copy of your photo ID, such as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), driver’s license, or other valid government-issued photo ID.

APPLICATION PROCESS

STEP 1

Pre-apply

Make sure you are eligible for the DACA program. Once you have your immigration paperwork completed and ready to file to USCIS, submit a pre-application for MAF’s DACA Fee Assistance.

STEP 2

Apply

Depending on eligibility, equity, and available funding, we will invite you to submit a full application for DACA Fee Assistance or direct you to other resources.

STEP 3

Get the check!

If your MAF application is approved, we’ll mail you two checks for a total amount of $495 (one for $410 and one for $85) made out to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which you can send to USCIS along with your completed DACA application.
