A scholarship provides financial support for a refugee student to attend a college or university but does NOT provide a guarantee of a visa to enter the U.S. or an immigration pathway to remain in the U.S. following their completion of studies. A sponsorship is a commitment to support a refugee students’ education and provide integration support throughout the duration of their time on campus. Sponsorship provides a resettlement opportunity for refugee students and they arrive in the U.S. as a refugee with a pathway to legal permanent residence and citizenship.
