OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two Nebraska colleges have quietly set up private endowments to provide scholarships for undocumented immigrants who don’t qualify for financial aid.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has promised people brought illegally into the U.S. as children by undocumented parents that they won’t face deportation and will have a right to legal work. But these young people, often referred to as “Dreamers,” still don’t qualify for state or federal government-funded aid to help pay for college.

Twenty-eight students have graduated through the College of St. Mary’s program over the last 10 years. Additionally, the University of Nebraska at Omaha launched a scholarship for Dreamers this year through a private donation.

The University of Nebraska at Kearney has said it hopes to follow suit.
