About the Dream Fellowship: Fund for Public Advocacy

Being an immigrant child of Vietnamese parents in Japan and studying social work in the U.S., I have always been interested in how laws and regulations influence upon immigrant children in the U.S., and have considered what I can do to improve their situations, or at least better understand the issues so that I will be able to help them effectively when I work with the population.

I believe that this Fellowship is a great motivation for the students who seek opprtunities to realize their dreams and serve their country, the Unites State of America.
