Opportunity Scholarships A Program Of THEDREAM.US

Christian Brothers University Is proud To Be A Partner College OF THEDREAM.US!

As a Partner College, DREAMers are able to attend CBU using the scholarship funds provided by TheDream.US

TheDream.US Opportunity scholarships are for highly motivated DREAMers who want nothing than to get a college education but are unable to afford the cost. They have no access to federal aid, limited access to state aid, and sometimes face paying out-of-state tuition. The Opportunity Scholarship is for students who live in targeted, locked-out states where they cannot get in-state tuition.

Christian Brother University invited you to explore what we have to offer students who are eligible for TheDream.US Opportunity Scholarship. CBU is a small, private college located in the heart of Memphis, TN. As a Buccaneer at CBU, you will be immersed in an education that is both challenging and practical, preparing you as a whole world person to serve our campus, the community, and you the world beyond. CBU has majors in the Liberal Arts, Engineering, Sciences, and Business.

In three years, our Latino Student population has tripled, now composing 15% of our student body. CBU Latino students are achieving at high levels both academically and socially, by serving in leadership roles in students clubs and organizations across the university.
