Founded in December 2020, Beyond Dreams is a Tucson-based organization that supports Arizona students, especially those facing financial or systemic barriers by providing scholarships and access to educational resources.In 2021, thanks to a generous grant from the Community Food Bank, we expanded our efforts and awarded scholarships to nine students to help cover their college or university tuition.Since then, Beyond Dreams has continued to support students by offering new scholarship opportunities, hosting workshops, and creating volunteer experiences that help young people grow, connect, and achieve their goals.
Testimonials:
Maria, 2024 Recipient – University of Arizona :
Beyond Dreams has been an amazing organization that not only offers a scholarship to Dreamers, but also a community that re-enforces the importance of keeping one’s culture alive. Along with giving us the tools to educate ourselves in topics that are not often talked about in Hispanic or Latin American households. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be involved in my community as a volunteer through Beyond Dreams, and for having the opportunity to gain skills in Emotional Intelligence, Leadership, Financial Literacy, Mental Health, etc. I believe that our community needs more organizations like Beyond Dreams who are looking out for students like me and helping us build a better future in our community and culture. Thank you for believing in us!Paz, Spring 2024 Recipient- University of Arizona:
My time with Beyond Dreams has been a great experience. The workshops we led and took part of provided insight to various topics that I wouldn't normally explore. Topics like financial education, mental health, nutritional awareness and the mechanics behind a Co-Op. On top of that, the trip to Milpitas was another great experience where we got to give back to the greater Tucson community.
4 Year Anniversary
We hosted our very first fundraiser on September 5th, 2025 and it was a great success! Thank you to everyone who attended and helped us reach our goal — we couldn't have done it without you!
