Resources for Undocumented Students
In-State Tuition
Undocumented students who have attended Kansas high schools may qualify for in-state tuition at FHSU under the Kansas 2004 House Bill 2145.

Scholarships
Undocumented students may be considered for FHSU Scholarships, including incoming freshman and transfer scholarships and general university and/or departmental scholarships. Apply online for FHSU scholarships at www.fhsu.edu/finaid/Scholarships/.
Outside scholarship opportunities are also available. A list of scholarships begins on page 38 of the Resource Guide: Supporting Undocumented Youth listed below under General Resources.
Federal Financial Aid
To be eligible for federal student aid, students must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens.
Undocumented students, including students who have received the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, are not eligible for federal student aid. More information is available in the Federal Student Aid's fact sheet about undocumented students and financial aid.
