Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have donated millions of dollars via the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative to TheDream.US, a program that will award over 100 college scholarships to illegal immigrants in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Breitbart reports the donations have been spread out over the past several years, and are part of a concerted effort to ensure that 400 young illegals will attend college in the region by 2020.

TheDream.US believes that it is a shame to “waste [the] talent” of so-called “dreamers.”

This is not the only assistance that exists for illegal immigrants at college. 

Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, announced in May that they will fund 100% of financial aid packages for students that are in the country illegally, even though international students are expected to pay full tuition.
