Answers to concerns we hear from immigrant families
Yes, absolutely. The Department of Education does NOT share FAFSA information with immigration authorities (USCIS, ICE, or CBP). This is protected by federal law (FERPA). Millions of mixed-status families complete FAFSA every year without any immigration consequences. We'll explain all the legal protections during your consultation.
No. Providing information on your child's FAFSA will NOT negatively impact your ability to apply for a green card or citizenship. Financial aid received by your U.S. citizen child does NOT count against you for public charge purposes. Only benefits received directly by you (the immigrant applicant) are considered.
No problem! If you don't have an SSN, you can enter all zeros (000-00-0000) in the parent SSN field on the FAFSA. This will NOT prevent your child from receiving aid. We'll show you exactly how to handle this during the application process.
Yes! Many undocumented parents don't file tax returns, and that's okay. We'll help you estimate your income using pay stubs, bank statements, or other records. The FAFSA has options for non-filers, and we'll guide you through the process.
It depends on your family's financial situation and the colleges your child applies to. Federal Pell Grants can provide up to $7,395 per year (2024-25). Many students also qualify for federal loans and work-study. State and college aid can add thousands more. We'll help you understand what your child may qualify for.
Yes! While DACA students aren't eligible for federal aid, many states (including Illinois) offer their own financial aid programs. We can guide you through state aid applications and connect you with scholarship opportunities specifically for DACA students.
