Undocumented Students
Undocumented Students: Students who are undocumented can enroll in college at many schools across the country and in Virginia. Undocumented Virginia residents are eligible for in-state tuition. Check with each college financial aid office for more information. Basic requirements for eligibility: undocumented students are eligible for in-state tuition, as long as they’ve lived in Virginia for at least two years, and they or their parents filed taxes.
VASA provides tuition based grants for Virginia residents to attend state-based schools.
If not a Virginia resident, students who are undocumented will most likely pay out-or-state tuition costs. Non-US citizens or residents are not eligible for federal student aid.
