Q&A: Does anyone know of any private scholarships for illegal immigrants?
Question by : Does anyone know of any personal scholarships for illegal immigrants?
Hi i am a sophomore going into my junior junior and i want to be prepared for school. I am presently at the best of my class, but i have doubts about college since my loved ones could by no means afford to put me through college. So i am seeking for any private scholarships for individuals without having a social security number.
I live in texas and i know that i can get accepted into any texas college, but my issue will be the funding.

You ought to take the test to turn out to be a citizen. If you happen to be the best of your class then I am positive you can pass the citizenship test. Then you can apply for all the scholarships you want, and you can get federal aid.
Give your solution to this query below!
If you have no social security number then you are in violation of federal misdemeanors. Apply for your green card. Then you can apply for anything out there. Colleges will need a social security number or student visa in order to process your application anyway.
If you are under the age of 18½, you can go back to your home country (would that be Sweden?) and obtain a valid F-1 Student Visa for study in the USA. You can do this without penalty. It would be as if you were never in the USA illegally. Several private scholarships would be available to you, and you would not have to live in fear of La Migra.
I recommend becoming legal first, seriously. Do it.
To answer your question; the Ayn Rand essay competition and the Microsoft scholarships are open to all students and don’t ask for proof of citizenship.
Oh, and this site as well has a few http://migrant.net/migrant/scholarships.htm
