Does the DREAM Act help students who have not yet graduated high school?

Those who have not graduated high school, obtained a GED or have not been accepted into college will be able to stay in this country and not be deported if they are enrolled full-time in primary or secondary school and are 12 years of age or older. Once the student has completed high school or obtained a GED, they will then be eligible to apply for Conditional Permanent Residency.
