And check out C4D (CT Students for a Dream), a statewide organization that helps students access college. Their website has tons of resources, including scholarships and an option to set up a one-on-one appointment with one of their staff.

***FOR UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS:

You cannot complete the FAFSA. You should complete the AACTUS for state schools and UConn's special application (below).

1. UConn: https://financialaid.uconn.edu/undocumented_students/

2. Southern, Eastern, Western, Central or CT State (Gateway): https://inside.southernct.edu/sites/default/files/a/inside-southern/onestop/financial-aid/2024/2024-25_Undocumented_Student_Application.pdf

3. Other schools: Many private schools ask for the CSS Profile instead of the FAFSA. Check the Financial Aid section of the school's website or contact their office directly to find out how undocumented students can apply for aid.

***FOR UNDOCUMENTED PARENTS:

You can complete the FAFSA and the CSS Profile.
