NOTE: When you call the admissions office at a private university, ask for a counselor who works on minority recruitment and retention.
Then ask:
1) How does your office process and evaluate undocumented students’ applications?
2) Does your college offer any financial aid for undocumented students (e.g., merit-based
scholarships, need-based scholarships, scholarships specifically for undocumented students)?
· If so, how much do you provide?
· Is there an application process (e.g., interviews, letters of recommendation, etc.)? What is the timeline?
· How many apply and how many are awarded?
· What are the requirements to maintain the scholarship?
· Can transfer students qualify?
If not, has your office made any plans to
change your policy towards undocumented students?
