ADVISE/TIPS/FACTS:
- Start the process early! Talk to your college advisor / counselor so they can assist you with the process!
- If you are undocumented / under the DACA act, you may not file a FAFSA.
- However, if you are a citizen, but your parents are undocumented, you may file a FAFSA with 000-00-0000 as their SSN.
- Google the school's name and "undocumented" if nothing comes up, it probably isn't an undocumented friendly school.
- If a scholarship does not require citizenship status, you can ALWAYS apply for it.
