Internship Email Scam

If you received an email from DREAM, AHEAD, or the NCCSD asking you to send money for an internship program at AHEAD, that is a scam. Do not send any money, and report it to your local police department. Several students in New York and Massachusetts have lost all their savings to a "Kim Richards from AHEAD." Kim does exist, but she is innocent and not a part of this.

If you wonder whether something is legitimate, please contact us before you send anyone money.

DREAM is supported under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education (P116D150005) to the Institute on Community Integration (ICI) at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and is run in collaboration with the Association on Higher Education and Disability.
