Learning English as a second language (ESL) can be hard. English language learners (ELLs) might have trouble expressing their knowledge, but they know a lot-and they deserve to go to college so they can use that knowledge in a career, if that is their goal.

If you are an English language learner who wants to go to college or a teacher or parent of an ELL with that goal, this guide is for you.

Moving From High School to College or Trade School as an English Language Learner

If you're nearing the end of high school, you may be wondering what to do next. You have many options! Of course, you can get a job, but you can also attend college or trade school.

What is the Difference Between College and Trade School?

A college or university is a school where you can earn a degree, usually in two years for an associate degree and four years for a bachelor's degree. Colleges are like high school because you take classes like English and math, but you also take classes related to the career you want. Associate degrees can prepare you for a job, or you can take more general classes like the ones you took in high school so you can move on to a bachelor's program. Bachelor's degrees require a lot more classes and can prepare you for specific jobs or give you a general understanding of a topic that you can use in many different jobs. For example, you can get a bachelor's in engineering, which prepares you for a job as an engineer, or you can get a degree in psychology, which lets you work in many jobs related to psychology. Some students decide to keep going to school after they get a bachelor's so they can earn master's degrees or doctorates, which train them for jobs that require a lot of knowledge.

A trade school, which is also called a "vocational school," teaches you how to work at a specific type of job and lets you get a license or certificate, usually in fewer than two years. There are many jobs you can get after trade school, including-but not only-hairstylist, nurse, mechanic, construction worker, dental hygienist, and plumber. There are special trade schools only for your career, but community college often also offer trade licensing programs.

Anyone can find a college or trade school that is right for them, even if English is not their first language. Did you know that speaking more than one language is actually helpful in the workforce? Because of this, many colleges want to teach students who can speak more than one language.

What Should I Do First?

If you have decided that you want to go to college or trade school, you might find the steps to get there confusing. Here are some of the first things you should do once you have made this choice.

Let your ESL teacher know your goals, and work closely with the teacher.
Teachers are important resources because they can work with you on your goals and provide encouragement.

Take additional classes or get a tutor.
Your ESL teacher can help you find a class or tutor to improve your English skills, often for free or at a low cost.

Build relationships with your teachers.
Your teachers are there to help you, not just in your classes but also in getting accepted to college or earning scholarships. Many college and scholarship applications require recommendation letters. Recommendation letters are letters from teachers that tell schools why they should let you in or scholarship organizations know why they should give you money. These can be teachers from any grade, so even if you are a freshman, you should find teachers you like and trust. Build relationships with them and keep that going even after you are not in their classes anymore. Even stopping by to say "hello" can help.

Work with your guidance counselor.
Guidance counselors are there to help you achieve your goals. Meet with them whenever you have questions or when you are picking out classes. They can help you select a set of classes that will appeal to colleges and improve your English skills.

Work on your informal English language skills.
Informal English skills are the ones you use in everyday conversations. You can get better at these by talking regularly with native English speakers and watch English language television shows. Don't worry about perfection when you're speaking to others.

How to Pick the Best College or Trade School for You

There are many great colleges and trade schools out there. Here are some suggestions on what to consider when picking the right school for you:

Think about going to community college before earning a bachelor's degree.
If you want to go to college for a bachelor's degree, community colleges may be a good way to start. Community colleges have smaller classes than bachelor's programs do, teachers who can usually pay more attention to their students, and less expensive tuition.

Consider working for awhile after going to community college. If you earn an associate degree, you might want to get a job for awhile before you go back to school for your bachelor's degree. This will let you understand the career better, improve English skills that are relevant to the job, and earn money for your next step in school.

How to Apply to College

Applying to college can be overwhelming, so get help from teachers and counselors who will guide you through the process. To get you started, here is what to expect from the college application process:

Before Applying to College or Trade School

Write practice essays about common college and scholarship application topics.
Most colleges and places giving out scholarships require students applying for them to write essays. Get feedback from a teacher or counselor on your essays. When you are happy with what you have written, you can use these essays when you are filling out your application. Just be sure the essay you pick matches the topic on the application. You might need to change some things to make it fit.

Take practice standardized tests.
You have probably taken standardized tests for your school already. For college, there are different tests. The exams usually required for bachelor's degree schools are the SAT and the ACT. You might need to take one or both depending on the colleges you are interested in. Study for and take practice exams during your junior year of high school so that you know what you need to work on. Talk to your teacher or counselor about getting extra help.

Review the application details and requirements by each school.
Every school's application has different requirements. Make sure you understand them and fill them out correctly. Your teacher or counselor can help.

The Application Process

Keep track of the application deadlines.
Every college and trade school has a date by which you need to apply. Once you have chosen the schools you want to apply to, write the due dates on a calendar. Create a schedule to make sure you have all the things you need by the submission deadline. These things are below.

Write your college entrance essay.
Most schools require admission essays. For each application, make sure you are writing about the correct topic. The application will tell you what to write about. If you can, have a teacher or counselor review your essay before you turn it in.

Get your high school transcripts ready.
Transcripts are records of the classes you took and the grades you earned. Work with your school counselor to send your high school transcripts to the schools you're applying to.

Complete the application.
Along with all the materials above, you will fill out an application with your personal details, like your date of birth and home address. Most schools require application fees. If you can't afford the fee, talk to your guidance counselor or ESL teacher about your options.

Most community college have "open admissions," meaning everyone who turns in all application materials gets in. You will probably find out if you got in quickly. If you applied to a bachelor's program, you will probably have to wait awhile before you find out if you got into your school. You should hear from colleges by spring, and they will contact you whether or not you got in.

The college application process for students who qualify under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy is mostly the same, but you will need to work even more closely with your teachers and counselors. Learn more about that process in the DACA section below.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

Financial aid is money to pay for college, either money that you need to repay or money that you do not need to repay. This money comes from organizations, schools, or the government, not your family. Most students get some kind of financial aid. Figuring out how to get financial aid can be tough. This section will help guide you through the process.

Federal financial aid is money from the federal government. Many other types of aid, including some scholarships, require you to apply for federal aid because it helps them determine how much money you need. All federal financial aid documents are available in English and Spanish.

A lot of people worry that they can not get aid if their parents are undocumented immigrants or that their parents will be in danger if they apply for it. Your parents' legal status does not affect whether you can get federal financial student aid. Your parents will not be investigated because you filled out out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)-the application does not ask about citizenship. However, if you are undocumented, you may not be able to get federal financial aid. You need to look at your state's laws. If you can not get federal aid because of DACA, check out the next section about what DACA students should know about getting financial aid.

If you are not affected by DACA, here are the steps to apply for federal financial aid:

Find out the financial aid deadline for all the schools you're applying to.
Turn your FAFSA in before those dates. Deadlines are usually in February, but getting it done early will take away some stress.

Complete your FAFSA form.
All of the details you gathered would be used to complete your FAFSA.

Read your Student Aid Report (SAR).
This electronic document will be sent to you after the FAFSA submission. Make sure that all the information is correct, including the names of the schools you are applying to. If any corrections need to be made, you can do that. Keep this report for your records.

Loans are money that needs to be paid back. They charge interest, which means you will pay back more than you borrowed. The information can be hard to read and you should ask for help from your teacher or counselor if you need it.

Scholarships and grants are free money that does not to be repaid unless you do not follow all the rules in their contracts.

Federal Work-Study is a part-time job offered by your college or at a nearby company.

Renew your FAFSA form every year.
You need to fill this out every year in order to keep getting aid.

How to Use DACA

State laws vary on whether DACA students may go to state schools, so you need to research your options. Additionally, DACA students don't always qualify for in-state tuition.

It's important to know that colleges and universities can not tell the government or outside people about your immigration status or give them any other personal information. This is a part of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Read on to learn more about how DACA students pay for school.

How to Get Money for College if You're a DACA Recipient

While DACA students can not always receive federal financial aid, you may be able to get other types of aid. Here are some things to think about while looking for funding.

Research private scholarships and grants.
Private scholarships and grants are money that comes from companies and organizations to help people pay for school. They have rules you need to follow, but if you follow the rules, you do not need to pay the money back. Some scholarships and grants DACA recipients may be able to get include ones from 10,000 Degrees, Education First, New Leader Scholarships, and TheDream.us Scholarship. You can find out even more about these kinds of scholarships at Edvisors.

Look into school aid.
While you won't be able to receive federal financial aid, your college or trade school might have aid options.

Think about getting private loans.
Most students in the U.S. pay for their college education through student loans. If you do not qualify for federal loans, you can apply for private loans. Do your research, though, because the loan process and interest rates can be very confusing. Private loans have to be paid back and the interest rates are usually very high. Interest rates are money charged to you because you borrowed the money, based on the amount of money you borrowed.

Get help from your ESL teacher and school counselor.
Your teachers and counselors are a great resource to help you understand how to get financial help.

Tips for Teachers With College-Bound English Language Learners

Teachers can be essential in helping English language learners get to and through college. Here are some tips for how to be the best resource to ELLs as you can.

Be a sounding board and provide guidance.
Showing your support and helping your ELLs talk through their challenges, what they're looking for, and what they have questions about can help guide how you can support them.

Provide additional academic support.
The Hamline University study also reveals that students were unprepared for colleges' academic expectations. You can help prepare ELLs by providing ample support in English writing and reading. This Internet TESL Journal article and this National Council of Teachers of English article provide suggestions and tools for teaching writing to ESL students to more effectively prepare them for college-level coursework.

Teach your student to ask for help.
Your college-bound students likely will still need some accommodations or additional services to help them get through college coursework. By empowering them to advocate for themselves, even if they're intimidated, you're helping them build skills that enable them to find the help they need.
