With 1 million immigrant children leaving without legal status in the US, nearly 65,000 of them graduate from high school every year but the sad part is fewer than 6,500 are lucky ones to attend the college.

Most of these undocumented immigrant students face the hurdle of not getting the right information and assistance of having legal permission to continue their education as they are unaware of their legal status options like laws at the state level which allows some noncitizens to receive in-state tuition at the state colleges and universities; President Obama’s executive order for granting Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals gives them temporary status and a pathway to work legally.

Even though some states have been giving out financial aid for nearly a decade still the immigrant students lose much on education as they fail to understand the financial aid process or about the application forms that needs to be filled out. The other disadvantage being teacher, high school counselors and college financial aid offices are not being helpful to the immigrant students. It is very important that there is continual information being passed to the illegal immigrants.

It is important that the students understand their rights and laws very carefully, read them or get help from immigration lawyers if needed, they can even approach campus groups and organizations like United We Dream and Educators for Fair Consideration and attend the college and make benefit of all the right at every possible step.
