Status of Financial Aid for CA Higher Education Undocumented
Students
According to a recent study, there are over 92,000 undocumented
students enrolled in the California colleges and universities.
However, many of these students do not apply for the state
financial aid for which they may be eligible. The California
Student Aid Commission invites you to our webinar that will
present information on undocumented students in California, how
many benefit from the financial aid opportunities available to
them, and potential barriers that may hinder students from
accessing this support.
