Education without discrimination
We strive to foster a diverse and welcoming campus community for all students, regardless of background, race or immigration status. As part of that commitment, we welcome and encourage applications from students with an undocumented immigration status.
If you're an undocumented or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) student, we invite you to apply using our international student admission process.
Financial Aid for Undocumented Students
As with all students accepted to 快活app, we consider all undocumented college students for up to $31,000 per year in merit-based scholarships. These scholarships are considered on an individual basis, and the amount you can receive is based on your academic record. Many of our merit scholarships include a $3,000 Residence Hall Grant.
We reward exceptional talent in the arts and athletics through several specialized scholarships. These have separate requirements and criteria from merit-based scholarships and are typically renewable on a yearly basis.
Additionally, DACA and undocumented students may be eligible for the 快活app Educational Grant. Because this grant is need-based, you must submit the to be considered.
