I am an undocumented immigrant – can I go to school or college in the U.S.?

Yes! Even without lawful immigration status, you have the same right to education as all other youth in the U.S. However, many non-U.S. citizens are not eligible for federal financial aid for college. In California, you may be eligible for the lower tuition costs charged to students from California, thanks to California Assembly Bill AB540, and you may be able to obtain state financial aid through the California Dream Act.
