The Program begins on January 1 and ends on December 31st of each calendar year the Program is offered.

Twelve $1,500 College Dreams Scholarships will be awarded during each 12-month period of the Program. Recipients will be selected from a pool of qualified applicants.

Eligibility: Applicants must be members in good standing for the 6-month period preceding the application date, be enrolled in a minimum of one (1) three-credit hour course at Miami Dade College. "Good standing" means applicant has not been delinquent on a loan or overdrawn on a share account for the 6-month period preceding the application date or at the time of the selection and has not previously caused EdFed a loss. Proof of qualifications must be provided within 30 days following notice of applicant's selection.

The recipients will be selected from a pool of all eligible applications via a random drawing. Applications will stay in the candidate pool for the entire calendar year; thus, a student may be selected more than once during the calendar year. The Administrator, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters, will conduct the drawing. Odds of being a recipient depend on the number of eligible applications received. Selected recipients will be contacted via telephone, email, and/or mail.
