Wow, you students are receiving a crap load of money. All of you are lucky.

California is cool like that.

Someone just emailed me this from their Financial Aid office regarding CA Dream Act.

If you're DACA you don't qualify now???? WTF

Quote:
"You currently have a Social Security Number and therefore are ineligible to be considered for aid through the CA Dream Act application. You may apply for federal financial aid by electronically filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To file a FAFSA, you must have a valid Social Security number AND be a U.S. citizen or have a valid green card. Students holding an employment authorization card are ineligible to apply for aid through the FAFSA or the CA Dream Act Application."

Whoa, that sucks I hope it isn't true!

It is because before DACA an undocumented student had a pressing need for financial aid and now that undocumented students have work permits, they can pay their own way?

The need is still there!

I believe this refers to the 'Nonimmigrant' component. You don't qualify if you're nonimmigrant, and some types of nonimmigrants are eligible for Work Authorization Documents, thus why I believe this was sent.
It's Veterans Day so not much can be done until tomorrow and find out the reason why it was marked 'Ineligible'

Oh I see! I hope you can get it cleared up and report back.

Must be a mistake since we are still ineligible for federal aid. Good luck Cali Dreamers! Hope TX doesn't pull a fast one on me!

this might be personal but would you mind sharing how much money you received?

They are confusing things.
They said because the EAD confers an immigration status the person loses AB540 eligibility which is untrue. DACA neither grants nonimmigrant status because there is no VISA involve and no legal status is issued. I guess you have to print some regulations and show them their error. But it appears otherwise this person should be eligible for financial aid.

Oh I see, thank you. I'm guessing depending on whoever wants the financial aid will have to be prepared if circumstances occur.
