Make an appointment with CHIRLA on Find Your Ally

You are not required to state the nature of your case/question to a staff member to make an appointment with a legal representative.

Note: As of Spring 2025, a minimum of three in-person appointments must be scheduled for the CHIRLA representative to come to campus on designated days. In-person appointments are released one month in advance, and appointments beyond that timeframe may not appear in the scheduling system. If you schedule an in-person appointment, please be aware that CHIRLA may contact you if the modality of your appointment changes (e.g., from in-person to virtual). If you need urgent assistance and no appointments are available, please reach out to your college’s Undocumented Student Center for further support.

The California Dream Act Service Incentive Grant (DSIG) Program encourages eligible California Dream Act Applicant (CADAA) students to perform community or volunteer service. The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) will award up to $4,500 per academic year (up to $2,250 per semester) to eligible students. This grant is available for up to 8 semesters while students have an active Cal Grant A or B award.

Eligible students must apply annually, attend a qualifying institution, have sufficient unmet financial need, and complete service hours in that academic year (July 1 through June 30). Semester students shall perform service hours in 150-hour increments. Students can volunteer with any of the organization(s) on the List of Service Organizations or with any organization not on the list if it meets the criteria for a qualifying service organization.

What is an Eligible Student?

• Has completed and submitted California Dream Act Application (CADAA) for that academic year.
• Is an active recipient of a Cal Grant A or Cal Grant B award. Cal Grant A recipients must have met Cal Grant B eligibility.
• Demonstrates enough financial need (determined by CSAC or the institution).
• Enrolled in a qualifying institution.

What is a qualifying community or volunteer service organization?

• A nonprofit as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
• Any federal, state, or local government entity.
• Any school on the Cal Grant Eligible Schools list on the CSAC website.

Community or volunteer service performed by the participating student is not advocacy of a political, social, or religious nature.
