dc.description.abstractUndocumented immigrants are essential members of American communities, filling critical frontline and labor roles. Access to higher education is crucial for undocumented immigrants and their children, as it can intersect with pathways to legalization and lead to greater socio-economic stability. However, pursuing higher education poses significant challenges for them. To better understand these obstacles and identify potential avenues for support, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 individuals currently enrolled in college or recently graduated. While our findings on the challenges undocumented students face align with existing research, they also offer deeper insights into this population’s specific needs, practices, and coping strategies, which are crucial for supporting their educational goals. We hope our research contributes to advocating for comprehensive reforms that enhance educational accessibility for undocumented students pursuing higher education in the U.S.
