Beyond HB 1079 & Beyond Dreaming
The Beyond HB 1079 Conference was started by Royal City’s undocumented student Yuriana Garcia during her second year of college at the University of Washington Seattle. As an undocumented student at the UW, she saw that there was a need to bring awareness to the community about undocumented students. The Beyond HB 1079 Committee was form that 2012 year and in March 29rd, 2012 the 1st annul Beyond HB 1079 Conference was held at the University of Washington Seattle. In the year 2013, the 2nd annual Beyond HB 1079 Conference was held at the University of Washington Bothell on March 30th, 2013. It was also the year that the first Beyond Dreaming Scholarship List for Undocumented Students was released as a project from Seattle’s
undocumented student Alejandra Pérez, from the University of Washington Bothell, as she saw the need to have a centralized list for students in Washington State to go to when seeking scholarships to fun their education. This project was made possible in 2013 with the support of the Mary Gates Leadership Scholarship. The 3rd annual Beyond HB 1079 conference was held at the University of Washington Tacoma and the 2014 version of the Beyond Dreaming Scholarship Packet was released on April 5th, 2014. The 4th annual Beyond HB 1079 Conference and the 2015 version of the Beyond Dreaming Scholarship Packed was release on October 10th, 2015.

House Bill 1079In May 7, 2003, House Bill (HB) 1079 was signed into law by Governor Gary Locke. This law allows students who have lived in Washington State for three years or more to be considered “residents” when they pay for their tuition and fees at Washington State colleges and universities. HB 1079 does not change a student’s legal citizenship status. To qualify for resident tuition, students must have:
1. Earned a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) from a Washington State high school;
2. Lived in Washington State for three years prior to receiving a high school diploma or GED;
3. Lived continually in Washington since earning the high school diploma or GED;
4. Meet the college or university admission requirements expected of all other students.
The Affidavit is a confidential statement verifying that the student qualifies to pay resident tuition, and that they will seek legal permanent residency when legally permitted to do so. If an Affidavit is not provided or available, the student should ask a trusted relative, friend, teacher, or counselor to request it from the institution they plan to attend. The Affidavit is available at following link Affidavit.
Senate Bill 6523
On February 26, 2014, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law SB 6523. Known as the Washington Dream Act/REAL Hope Act. This law expands eligibility for the Washington State Need Grant to non-citizens who meet the program’s eligibility requirements. The three residency criteria are listed below:
1. Have graduated from a Washington high school or obtained a GED in Washington
2. Have lived in Washington for three years prior to, and continuously since, earning the high school diploma or equivalent
3. Sign a HB 1079 affidavit (written promise) to file an application to become a permanent resident of the United States when eligible to apply
*Students granted deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) must also complete and sign and HB 1079 Affidavit. DACA is not mandatory to apply for this.
Application can be found at www.readysetgrad.org/wasfa. Students must re-apply every academic year starting on January 1st and submitting by the school(s)’s priority deadline (varies by school).
**Please note that the information provided by the student to the institution and the WASFA is protected, through FERPA and will not be shared with a third party.**
How to use this Scholarship Guide
The Beyond Dreaming Scholarship Handbook has the following sections:
Washington State Scholarships
Nation Wide Scholarships
Washington State Higher Education Institution Scholarship resources
The first two sections are organized by deadline from January to December. The third section is organized alphabetically. The only way to have a shot at
winning scholarships is to apply for scholarships. You’ll hear it time and time again – apply early, and apply often. Here are some tips to apply for
scholarships:
Identify the right scholarships for you and check the requirements of the scholarship application. Make sure you qualify.
Identify resources to help review your application. Most applications will ask for a combination of the following.
Scholarship essay and/or Personal statement ‐ Always adapt your essay and personal statement to make sure you are answering what the
application asks you and be prepared to find at least two people who can help you with reviewing the essays and personal statements.
Letters of recommendation – Ask someone who knows you well at least two weeks in advance and follow-up. They should know your
academic work and be aware of your commitments outside of school. We recommend that you always provide the person who will write
your letter of recommendation a copy of your resume and transcript and any draft essays you have for the scholarship. The more information
you give them, the better prepared they will be to write a great letter on your behalf!
Transcript- Ask your counselor for an official transcript to submit with your application. If there has been a significant hardship that affected
your transcript include a brief statement.
Plan ahead. Look ahead about three months for deadlines and update/confirm deadlines to ensure you apply in time. If a deadline or other important
information is not posted, contact the organization and ask for missing information:
Hi. My name is _______ and I’m calling about the _____ scholarship. I’m interested in applying and would like more information. I would like to know
more information about: The deadline for submitting my application: _______________________ Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to
submitting my application.
Save everything. Complete application requirements and save all of your written work on your computer.
Revise. Revise. Revise! Review your essays, statements, and all written work before submitting. Always ask someone to read your application one more
time before the final submission.

Acknowledgements
This project was possible through the support of the
Beyond HB 1079 Committee. Without the team’s effort
and guidance this project wouldn’t have been renewed.
Thank you to the volunteers who contributed countless
hours to update the scholarship packet. Special thanks to
our conference sponsors, Everett Community College—
thank you for being unafraid educators with and for
undocumented students.
