| FINANCIAL AID
ELIGIBILITY FOR NON-CITIZENS |
| Generally, to
be eligible for financial assistance from any federal or state
sponsored student aid program, you must be either a U.S. citizen
or have an immigration status that demonstrates that you are
residing in the U.S. for other than a temporary purpose.
The following chart gives the financial aid
eligibility status for the various classifications of non-citizen.
Some students may be required to document eligible immigration
status before receiving PELL or other federal student aid.
Some may be asked by HESC to document citizenship or immigration
status before receiving TAP.

questions about the documentation or program eligibility requirements
for your particular immigration status, check the citizenship/immigration
status requirements for Federal

download a copy of our Immigration
Status & Secondary Confirmation brochure for additional

are available to help you pay for it.
