Support for Undocumented Students
YES, you ARE allowed to go to school! The same laws that protect you in high school, are the same laws that say that you can register to go to college.
You cannot fill out FAFSA, unfortunately, but you CAN still get scholarships!
If you work hard, it IS possible to pay for school with scholarships. Will you have to work harder? Sadly, yes, but you CAN do it!
Here are some links to documents or scholarships that can help you!
