would I be able to go to community college with no green card?
Posted by admin on Jun 8, 2010
am 18 years old and a senior in high school with a 4.3 GPA but I have no papers. I came to the United States from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old and my parents had already lived here for two years and had a granted Temporary Protected Status because of Hurricane Mitch which happened in Nicaragua in 1998. They still have this protection and therefore have social security numbers and work authorizations. They both pay their taxes every year and work legally in the US. I also have my eight year old brother who was born here, the only person in my family who has absolutely no documentation is me. I have less than a month left in high school and I would LOVE to go to a state college but see that that is impossible at this moment since I can receive no scholarships or grants. My parents went to the bank and have applied for a loan so they can pay for my college but only a small amount could be lent to them and I would like to see if I can go to community college with no documentation. I would at least be able to go to school here and if there is no reform soon leave and be able to work anywhere in the world since I studied in the US
Yes, you can. They may make you pay out of state fees (depending where you are). You are paying your money so i don’t see why they would refuse you an education. Go apply and good luck.
