7. Can I receive federal financial aid for post-secondary education even though I am undocumented?

-No, you cannot. At the DREAM Act Portal, we do not condone and will not accept any suggestions on how to obtain any kind of financial aid or benefit in an unlawful and fraudulent way.

Texas HB 1403 allows, in certain cases, for some undocumented students who qualify to receive STATE (as in Texas) financial aid. That is in no way connected to federal financial aid or the Dream Act or Fafsa, as there is a different form to fill out specific to the state of Texas. So no, #7 does not need to be updated in any way, though hopefully one of these days it will be
