All eligible dreamers deserve a shot at an Overlake education.

- Demonstrate strong academic performance through grades and test scores
- Strive for a college preparatory education
- Show enthusiasm and motivation for learning
- Have a demonstrable financial need of at least 30% of school costs
- Be applying to or entering grades 7-12
