Hi collegebound 8899- here in Texas undocumented students CAN go to state colleges/universities and pay in resident tuition. Find out from your state what are the parameters. Of course, private colleges will each have their own policies but there are a number where merit aid and institutional financial need is still met. High school counselors here in Austin TX are well versed in these situations but I don’t know the level of expertise for your area. Also, have you applied for the DACA? Here in my area families are getting their children’s paperwork in order to file soon. Please do not give up. I have a link that I sent another student with state by state resources so look up my posts. You may want to check the Hispanic Students thread as a lot of these kids came to US with no choice and must now figure out what to do for their future.
