College Problem

[Mercedez 3]

My friend was approved for docs so she apply for financial aid and was approved. But when she went to the college they told her she can't get in because she don't have her green card. Can they do that.

She got her docs ? You mean like DACA approved ?

[Mercedez 3]

Yes

I don't think they can do that to her. She might have to go in as an interitonal student and just pay more of what a u.s.a stud would pay. Exsample a friend of mine pays $16,000 a year, and a interitonal student would pay $24,000 a year. Your friend might have to look into that and find out why did that happen.

Is she/he from California ?

[Mercedez 3]

No, we are from nyc

Being DACA approved doesnt make u eligible to apply for financial aid that's weird

YOU CANNOT GET FINANCIAL AID IF YOU'RE UNDOCUMENTED.

[mm22806 12]

U have to be a resident or citizen to get financial aid that is why she is getting asked for her green card

[Mercedez 3]

OK thanks. What is the difference between DACA and EAD?

[mm22806 12]

Daca it's a discretion from the government to remove an individual from the country , EAD is the name for the work permit

you cant get financial aid unless you are a citizen or a legal resident.  if she just has the work permit she can apply for the BOGG scholarship which waives off the tuition fees from whatever college/university you are attending and all you pay for are the books.  this new waiver was implemented in the beginning of this year.  should try to apply for it before the fall semester.
