Where are all my GEORGIA dreamers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Page 13

Do you guys know if we will be able to apply for financial aid, fafsa, and these sorts of financial benefits for school? planning to go to GPC.

or at least pay instate? I'm looking at the FAFSA website, but can't register because my ssc did not arriev yet :/

I'm another Georgia DREAMer. I found this on the UGA website. Despite the 12 month waiting period, you might be able to get in-state tuition especially if you graduated from a GA high school. So, my advice is to contact someone.

To qualify for in-state tuition:

• Students must first prove that they have established a primary domicile or permanent Georgia home at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the beginning of classes for the term to be considered for residency.
• Students and/or parent(s) of dependent students also should provide documentationshowing payment of Georgia state income tax, as this shows a tie to the state that proves financial support for the Georgia educational system. Mere property ownership in Georgia, by itself, is usually insufficient.
• The Office of Admissions also suggests that students include copies of any other documents showing their intent to be a Georgia resident, such as a Georgia driver’s license, car or voter registration, home ownership, full-time employment records, etc. Attending college in Georgia is not proof of intention to be a Georgia resident.

Hey guys, this is the response I got from Kennesaw


Unfortunately, the Deferred Action program will not change your eligibility to pay in-state tuition at University System of Georgia schools. The program does not provide you with a lawful status. You must be lawfully present in the U.S. in order to be eligible to pay in-state tuition.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding the University System policy.

thanks for the info. Do any of you attend private college/institutions? were you able to get some financial help?

GAis not to fond of dreamers so I doubt there's many that offer scholarships regardless of your status..

Georgia here also!

ugh you got to be kidding me!!! SMDH!!!!!

Hey guys i have a question about the driving permit. I'm over 18 years old and i was only able to get the permit and the lady said u need 50 hours driving b4 getting the full one. Should i just driver until the date of my appointment and go even if i havent done the 50hrs of driving ?>

They just recommend that you do certain hours, so that it assures that you learned how to drive. If you already know how to drive, go ahead and take it.

Since you are over 18, they won't verify with anyone whether you completed 50 hours. If you were under 18, they would probably have you bring a signed paper saying that you completed the hours.

Georgia is slowing down. It's been over a month since my bio
