Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

  • View
  • //Comment out the comments box

BRIEF SUMMARY

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an American immigration policy founded by the Obama administration in June 2012. DACA allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit.

KEY POINTS

  • DACA students are limited to university scholarships, external scholarships, and private loans

SHARED WISDOM

  • Oftentimes private colleges are able to provide better scholarship packages than public schools.
  • DACA students qualify for in-state tuition rates (Indiana).

RESOURCES

  • Indiana Latino Institute (for scholarships and resources)
  • Educators for Fair Consideration (scholarships listed here do not have citizenship requirements;  also a good site for additional resources)
  • Indiana Private Colleges with Scholarships
  • Q&A for DACA Students and Financial Aid
  • Undocumented student Resource Guide
