International Students and Undocumented Students

International students who are neither a citizen nor an eligible non-citizen are not eligible for federal student aid. Please contact the Texas College Registrar’s Office.

UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS

Undocumented or non-citizens may be eligible to be classified as Texas Resident for tuition purposes. If you qualify as a Texas Resident, you may also be eligible for state financial aid.

For more information, please visit the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's website located at http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/. To determine if you meet the criteria to be classified as a Texas resident for tuition purposes.

If it is determined that you are eligible to be classified as a Texas resident you may apply for state financial assistance by:

• Completing a paper (not electronic) Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submitting it to the Texas College Financial Aid Office.

OR

• Completing the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) by downloading the application at http://www.collegefortexans.com/paying/myapplication.cfm. Once your application is complete you will submit it to the Texas College Financial Aid Office.

We will review your FAFSA or TASFA application and determine if you meet the eligibility requirements for state financial assistance.
