Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
 

Hey Dreamers,
I would like to know if DACA recipients are allow to claim in state tuition here in Florida. Yesterday I went to the records office to apply and she told me I couldnt because DACA only offer temporary status and that I would have to wait for state to clarify in this issue. I know a lot of you have been commenting on this matter but has anyone been granted in-state tuition so far ? I know all the colleges have their website and say they will but has anyone been granted so far ?:arrow::arrow:

Which school did you apply to? I know that FAU, FIU, UF and a couple of community colloges do too. I am planning to apply to Valencia later this week.

I know personally that Broward College, FAU, and UF need you to provide evidence of being*legally*present in the state for at least a year. (Legal for us is DACA) FAU Residency Guidelines*(Go down to Section VI and scroll down a bit) http://www.fau.edu/admissions/ResidencyGuidelines.php FIU Residency Guidelines*(Scroll down to page 9) http://admissions.fiu.edu/how/forms/...Guidelines.pdf UF Residency Guidelines http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/residency/exc3.html

I apply to Santa Fe. She directed me to http://www.flvc.org/flvc/portal/Home...vZ0FBIS9nQSEh/ and said thats where we get our guidelines and every college and university of the state of Florida.
I Also went to Valencia and visit before DACA was ever mention ( before june 2012 )and the lady told me I couldn't even be accepted in Valencia college (either in-state or out-state or intl) because of my status so let me know how it goes. I believe the lady in Valencia was from the International Dept (Asian). I hope things have changed.

Do you know that broward,UF, FIU accept DACA for a fact for in-state or because the website says so ?

Re: Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
 

Sorry I don't know about Santa fe. but if schools like UF, and FIU are putting it in their guidlines then maybe there is hope.

Yeah I went to Valencia before DACA too and a lady said no to me too. About the other schools accepting us for sure I don't know, I got that info from the "schools who give instate tuition thread".

Yeah I will let you know what they say, I already sent an email and the guy didn't know what deffered action was lol.

Re: Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
 

I really hope for the best and if you get in-state please let me know so I can follow those guidelines. And let the college know that they are wrong. Like I said sf also had on their website but she said no... also at firs she didn't know what it was either.

Re: Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
 

Ok I will. let me know if that lady "clarifies" the issue. Have you applied to any other schools? Btw I am at Polk State right now, having to pay out of state

Re: Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
 

somewhere someone posted something on this... it said that if someone had deferred action (not only DACA) you would be eligible for in-state tuition... but anyways...im planning on going to Miami-Dade... anyone know if ill be able to pay instate??

Re: Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
 

No i havent applied anywhere else.

Hey Hoo1988 let me know how it goes in Miami-Dade it should go smoothly because its Miami. And I believe if anyone is going to give out help for DACA students it will be miami dade or FIU.

Re: Granted in-state tuition DACA Florida ?
