HELP- Pending asylum and chances to get fin.aid for Medical education?

Right now you are not eligible for federal or state aid. There is nothing stopping you from applying or attending if you can afford to pay for it.

@SUNY Downstate

A U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the U.S.A. whose domicile has been in New York State for a one-year period prior to registration pays in-state tuition rates. Persons who do not meet this one-year requirement are out-of-state residents and pay out of state tuition rates. In-state rates will be applied to members of the U.S. Armed Forces, while on full-time active duty in New York State. This classification is provided to the eligible individual only and not to the spouse or dependents of such person. Individuals who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.A. must provide proof of immigration status before a residency determination can be made. Students on a temporary immigration status, aliens not lawfully present in the U.S.A. and students awaiting approval of an application for a change of immigration status are generally not eligible for New York State residency for tuition purposes. Each case will be considered individually, following the State University of New York’s “Administrative Policies on the Establishment of Residence for Tuition Purposes.”
