If You know anything about College for illegals, plz help me - Page 7

I live on VA which is perhaps one of the most anti-illegal states concerning students. It really sucks, the community college I went was costly, for 1 credit it's 273.40 and most classes are 3 which ends up being 820.20. I graduated from HS in 2005 with a 3.6 GPA and I went one semester taking one class. I never went back, now I'm unemployed and I'll potentially work as a freelance graphic designer and I'll try to find as much information as I can on private schools. Perhaps that's my only hope for now, other than immigrating to another country.

yea... VA just isn't the best state to be in as an undocumented.

We pay in-state tuition in New York as well. For CUNY, SUNY and whatnot.

for the SUNY schools, the instate tuition is just about 1k cheaper than the outstate tuition. The most expansive part for SUNY schools is probably dorming and meal plan.

well i know alot of people here in Michigan who are Undocumented(illegal) and are attending college i know one who goes to Wayne County Communty College
and i know another person that goes to Wayne State University and i know someone that attended Marygroove College(Private college) so atleast here in michigan its possible.

i had a question about in state tuition.....I got a highschool diploma from chicago,IL and i relocated with my mom to NY about 2 years ago...i am currently going to a SUNY community college but i have been paying out of state ever since i been here... I know NY is one of the listed states to offer instate for illegals but does anyone on here have any idea about my eligibility for in state tuition under this circumstance??

States that offer in-state tuition for undocumented student require them to have graduated from high school in that specific state... therefore you will not qualify for in-state tuition since you didn't graduate from a NY high school and probably have not had the required number of years as a NY "resident."

alright...what is the normal required years to be counted as a "resident"? do you know if non documented people are allowed to apply for scholarship?

I don't know what the requirement is for each state that offers in-state, but usually it's around 3 years and to reiterate, you have to have graduated from a high school in that state.

Search this site for scholarship ideas. This thread is pretty useful:
