It is estimated that approximately 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools every year across the United States. However, only five to ten percent of these students go on to college (NCSL, 2011). Under U.S. law, undocumented students who wish to pursue a higher education are not eligible to receive financial aid and are treated as international students who must pay out-of-state tuition rates even if they have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives. Since federal legislation to help undocumented students enroll in colleges and universities has not passed to date, some states have taken the matter into their own hands and enacted a state version of the DREAM Act making undocumented students eligible to receive in-state tuition benefits and thus making college more affordable and feasible. Other states however have enacted opposing legislation creating financial obstacles for undocumented students to attend public colleges or universities or even prohibiting them from enrolling or attending these postsecondary institutions. The present study aims at examining states with current statutes or regulations either for or against in-state tuition benefits. Demographic data from 2000 and 2010 of the Latino populations in selected states are used to examine for associations between Latino population growth and the condition of population anxiety (Bobo & Hutchings, 1996; Semyonov et al., 2004; Fossett & Kiecolt, 1989; Esses et al., 2001) that might lead states to anti-immigrant legislation. The analysis indicates that states that have passed legislation to restrict undocumented students from public universities tend to have higher levels of recent Latino population growth compared with states that permit undocumented students to enroll in public universities and colleges. In addition, other factors, such as Latino historical presence and advocacy coalitions, are also assessed for their significance in impacting state legislation affecting the ability of undocumented students to attend public universities.

This paper will explore the question: “in what ways does DACA status influence undocumented students’ ability to access higher education in San Francisco and Bay Area, California?” Even though DACA does not encompass any direct policies regarding access to education, there is a very strong correlation between having DACA status and accessing higher education for the undocumented students. In this research, I highlight the voices of undocumented students through the method of testimonio. Each participant reflects on their personal experiences with DACA while accessing postsecondary education. In this research, I explore how testimonio, as a methodology and a theoretical framework, reflects the undocumented students’ experiences while they reveal their stories in the powerful interviews.

Immigrant populations, growing quickly in both size and diversity, have become an important segment of the U.S. college student population, one that will profoundly transform the educational landscape and workforce in coming decades. Nevertheless, immigrant students in higher education are often inaccurately characterized and largely misunderstood. In response to this alarming disconnect, this monograph reviews and synthesizes the existing body of literature on immigrant students, with special attention placed on transitions to college and collegiate experiences. The authors lay a foundation for future research and draw out implications for policies and practices that will better serve the educational needs of this growing population. This is the 6th issue of the 38th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Although the education of undocumented students through high school is guaranteed under the landmark case of Plyler v. Doe (1982), they find themselves with few or no options to pursue higher education after high school graduation. Approximately 65,000 undocumented high school students graduate each year in the United States (Passel, 2006). However, because of immigration status, these young immigrants are ineligible for financial aid, student loans, work study, and cannot obtain legal employment or driver's license. This sequential exploratory mixed methods research examined the perceptions of undocumented high school graduates regarding access to higher education. Twelve individuals who resided in various locations in the state of Georgia participated in the interview process. The researcher collected quantitative data through a questionnaire created based on the data gathered from the interviews. A total of 52 undocumented students completed the instrument. The findings provided evidence undocumented students perceived their undocumented status as the main obstacle to reaching upward mobility.

Rincon reviews the struggle by undocumented immigrant students to gain access to college by paying in-state tuition rates. These efforts, which have been successful in ten states, can be characterized as a human and civil rights struggle based on the fundamental premise that no group should be subjected to discrimination. Undocumented students seek equality under the law while affirming their humanity and thus their rights as human beings. Undocumented immigrants seek to overturn government and media images that portray them as "aliens" and "illegals," devoid of all rights simply because they are working and living in a country other than the one in which they were born.

"Recent legislation in California appears to provide additional supports to undocumented students in the education system. However, these laws do not protect undocumented students beyond secondary schools. As a result, Latino undocumented students in the United States face numerous barriers when attempting to access higher education, including financial, social, and emotional issues (Muñoz & Maldonado, 2012). This study focused on a small group of Latino undocumented students in California who successfully gained access to higher education. A series of interviews revealed their experiences in the educational system and the barriers and supports on their road to higher education. Findings demonstrated that undocumented students who successfully accessed higher education had to deal with numerous issues including financial, socio-emotional, familial, and structural barriers. In spite of these difficulties, the participants demonstrated remarkable resiliency in life and worked hard to be successful in order to make their own and their families live better"--Abstract, p. 1.

Now the largest and fastest-growing ethnic population in the U.S., Latino students face many challenges and complexities when it comes to college choice and access. This edited volume provides much needed theoretical and empirical data on how the schooling experiences of Latino students shape their educational aspirations and access to higher education. It explores how the individual and collective influence of the home, school and policy shape the college decision-making process. This unique collection of original scholarly articles offers critical insight on educational pathways that will help families, educators and policy makers intervene in ways that foster and sustain college access and participation for Latino students. It considers destination preferences and enrollment selections, elementary and secondary school experiences, and intervention programs that shed light on how practitioners can promote participation and retention. This multi-conceptual, multi-methodological volume offers directions for future research, programming and policy in Latino education.
