holdingon2promise 25 Posted August 11, 2014 I live in NYC, and I am fortunate to able to attend one of the cuny universities, before I applied for DACA I was paying my way through because it is affordable. After DACA, I read we don't qualify for Aid, after doing my own research I applied anyway and was granted aid, something I thought wasn't possible. I filled in the application gave my Alien number and just like that aid that will covers my fall semester. I am happy about that and wonder if anyone else had gotten aid,tap,grants through fafsa? They say, we may not get federal aid but we might qualify for state and college aid and the only way to check is to apply--which I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Judy 0 Posted August 11, 2014 What kind of aid did they award you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holdingon2promise 25 Posted August 11, 2014 I definitely got Tap which is State Aid. What i find weird is that my school says i also got the Pell Grants as well , which confuses me because daca doesn't qualify for federal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Judy 0 Posted August 12, 2014 So most likely the Pell Grants are federally funded? I've read somewhere that we gotta watch out for that because if we accept the award it might be a felony.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
