Assisting Undocumented Students to Navigate Higher Education

Needs & Realities of Undocumented Students in Higher Education are unique. Undocumented students do not qualify for federal financial aid, such as Pell Grants or student loans. Due to lacking a social security number and work authorization in the United States, undocumented students can not be student workers or federal work-study. Undocumented students are restricted when choosing a major due to licensing, major, or graduate school requirements. Navigating the internship and job searching process can be very different and challenging for undocumented students due to the need for work authorization.
