If You know anything about College for illegals, plz help me
 
im a high school student in Kentucky. im a senior this year, and im having a major problem with the applications for colleges. i know that states like california, new york, illinois, utah, washington and texas accept illegal immigrants or undocumented students. but what im dont know is that even illegal from out of the state can be accepted. at this moment i could care less about if im going to get financial support, i just need to get accepted.

if any of you guys who are illegals and lived in out of those states and got accepted to the colleges, give an advise. thank you.

o yea...i know that they wont give me instate tuition but do you know any colleges that accept illegal immigrants? cuz my sister applied to some community college expecting that they will accpet but they asked her to bring her visa documents. so she sent them her passport and visa but they said they cant accept her because of her status.

i just need to know what colleges accept illegal immigrants.

Are you willing to pay HUGE out of state tuition? Look somewhere else... i.e. private scholarships. Private colleges are willing to work with you, especially if you are a very talented student.

Hey guys..i just received a mail from Associate Director of Admission of University of Kentucky. and here is what she said...


Dear Charles,



I am pleased to hear about your interest in the University of Kentucky. You may apply for undergraduate admission as an illegal immigrant. This status will not in any way hurt your chances of being accepted to the University as an undergraduate student. You should expect to hear from others here at UK in regards to your financial aid or scholarship possibilities. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional undergraduate admission questions at any time.



Sincerely,



Michelle Garth

Associate Director of Admission

I know there are so many students who just cant go to college or not knowing that they could go to college because they assume that illegals cant go to college. I just want to say "Dont BE Afraid to ASk" email or call the directors of schools that you want to go to. Because my sister made that same mistake and i dont want anyone to make that stupid mistake.

Try Beloit College in Illinois. I got a deal where I would pay 1/2 because my grades were above everyone else's. But I chose to attend somwhere else.

Abaddon, what school are you attending now? and are you illegal immigrant??

I live in Chicago, I am attending Wrige College (city college) the tuition is cheap and dont their requirements bad. I paid $1,500.00 including text books for one semester.

I plant to transfer to UIC, after i get my associates from Wright. Chicago has a very good public transportion that consists both of trains and buses, and if you need to go to the suburbs there is Metra. I think you should come to Chicago, cheapen than New York.

Welcome JCarrera.

I am a fellow Chicagoan myself. We will be starting a campaign soon--have you gotten in contact with Richard Durbin regarding the DREAM Act? Just wondering.

I've heard about undocumented students able to apply for a college loan in Texas, so if anyone knows anything abou this, I really need your feedback. Thanks.
