DACA and undocumented students can go to college! ¡Si se puede!
No.
However, you must be more mindful about what schools you are applying to because it will be harder for you to get financial aid. You may want to look into private schools because they cost the same regardless of residency, and they have more freedom in how they can give out scholarship money. This means they are more likely to give money to people that are not US citizens.
You may complete your RDS to submit applications but you will be considered out-of-state.
Yes.
DACA and undocumented students do not qualify for in-state tuition, federal or state aid in NC.
However, some schools (mostly private schools- see below for the list) may have their own process for you to receive aid.
Certain fields require licenses to practice and licensure exams may require a Social Security Number (SSN).
Look into licensure requirements before beginning a career-specific program.
Many careers require work authorization
Laws may change while you are in college, so keep checking back!
Your status may change while you are in college, so update as needed.
Most people on college campuses are allies and will help you navigate career/job selection.
If possible, you can move to the state which does give aid to DACA and undocumented people. After living there for one year to establish residency, you will be eligible for their state aid.
You are not alone. There are organizations out there to help you!
