FAFSA Non-Filers are students who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or "eligible noncitizens".

This allows young people to continue into higher education or go directly into the workforce with a work permit they attain during or after high school.

If you are a DACA student attending school, you are not eligible for federal financial aid. Federal financial aid policies require recipients to be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens. While DACA permits you to live legally in the U.S., you are not considered an eligible non-citizen.

However, here at ÃÛÑ¿app we encourage the application and enrollment of DACA students and FAFSA Non-Filers. You may be eligible for different forms of non-federal aid! Note that some awards are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and funding may be limited.
