Non-US Citizens
Undocumented Students
Some students who are undocumented may have questions about college access. Policies can vary by state and institution. In certain cases, students may be classified differently for tuition purposes or have limited access to state financial aid. Private institutions may have their own policies, including opportunities for institutional aid.
Eligibility for federal or state financial aid depends on individual circumstances. Students are encouraged to check directly with each college or university to understand what options and resources may be available.
International Students
Students in the U.S. on certain visas or non-permanent statuses may be considered international applicants when applying to college. Classification can vary based on individual circumstances, state guidelines, and institutional policies. Students are encouraged to contact each college or university directly to better understand how their application will be reviewed and whether any additional requirements may apply.
Students classified as international may have limited access to certain federal or state financial aid programs. Tuition rates and eligibility for institutional funding can also vary by institution. Some colleges may offer scholarships or other financial support options. It is important to review each school’s policies regarding costs, fees, and available funding opportunities.
