Dreamer Services
Christian Brothers University was founded upon the Lasallian values of faith, community, and service. We believe that education should be available and accessible for all and are committed to Dreamers’ success. We have been supporting Dreamers and undocumented students since 2014 through partnerships with groups such as TheDream.US and Equal Chance for Education. Following is a list of Dreamer services, opportunities, and organizations that are available to current DACA and undocumented students at CBU:
