Is the university she was admitted to too expensive?
Is your state one that affords undocumented immigrants instate tuition?
Is the country of origin Mexico or is it somewhere else?
Does she have relatives in the country of origin?
How much can she afford to pay?
Is she 18 yet?



yes
yes
Mexico
no
close to nothing
yes

Her family is extremely poor. Mother and younger siblings came to a recent award night for her and were dressed in clothes one step up from rags.

Thanks for the helpful replies, I’m going to start investigating.
