Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan said Wednesday they would donate $5 million to give scholarships to 400 undocumented Bay Area students. The money is being donated to TheDream.US, a group founded by former Washington Post publisher Donald Graham in 2013. Their mission is to help students born outside the U.S. pay for their education; as non-citizens they cannot access student loan programs. “Hundreds of thousands of young immigrants are part of our communities and attend school legally in the United States,” Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his site. “Many of them moved to America early in their lives and can’t remember living anywhere else. They want to remain in the country they love and be a part of America’s future. But without documentation, it’s often a struggle to get a college education, and they don’t have access to any kind of federal aid.”
