DACA Financial Aid Resources

Applying for Financial Aid

Students who are undocumented or who have DACA may not be able to complete a FAFSA. Some schools have their own financial aid forms for these students to fill out.

In Colorado, 5 colleges and universities have created their own financial aid application for undocumented and DACA students. For information about schools not listed below, contact the financial aid offices or work with Bekah.
