DACA gives you tools that make college more accessible — work authorization, a Social Security number, and, in Arizona, in-state tuition. It doesn't unlock federal aid, but combined with scholarships and state aid, a degree is within reach. Here's how to navigate it.
Combine your advantages, and keep your status current
DACA gives you work authorization and a SSN — helpful for jobs and many scholarships — even though it doesn't unlock federal aid. Stack in-state tuition, state and institutional aid, and DACA-eligible scholarships, renew your status on time, and lean on your school's dream-resource office. A degree is achievable.
Keep going: read paying for college as an undocumented student, find scholarships open to you, and get the financial aid basics.
