Financial Aid for Non-citizens
Student-bound students who are not citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States are not eligible for State or federal financial assistance because of their immigration status.  In addition, they are generally classified as international students and therefore are required to pay higher tuition and fees.  However, the Mexican American Legal Defense and
Education Fund (MALDEF), has compiled a list of scholarships that are open to undocumented students. 

The list is available on MALDEF's website at:
www.maldef.org or by calling (213) 629-2512.
