Welcome to DAP!

What state are you in? I ask because you may qualify for instate tuition if you live in one of the 10 states that allows undocumented students to pay instate tuition ( Texas, California, Utah, Washington, New York, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Nebraska.) Someone can correct me if there are more.

Also, you can try narrowing down a list of private schools with nursing programs and contact them (anonymously if you are concerned) to ask them if they can consider you for admission and financial aid.

Hope this helps and let us know if we can be of further assistance.
