    (Midwest & Plains Equity Assistance Center (MAP EAC), 2017) Nguyễn, David Hòa Khoa
    The purpose of this Equity Brief is to provide some guidance for educators with regard to the challenges around supporting undocumented students in the midst of uncertain times and continued concerns surrounding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Many youth in the DACA Program have made the United States their home and have lived in the country the majority of their lives. Since its inception, DACA has been a source of contention for many, opponents argue that DACA has decreased the educational budget whereas others proponents of DACA focus on the educational opportunities it presents.

    State and Institutional Policies on In-State Resident Tuition and Financial Aid for Undocumented Students: Examining Constraints and Opportunities
    (Arizona State University, 2017-02) Serna, Gabriel R.; Cohen, Joshua M.; Nguyễn, David Hòa Khoa; School of Education
    In this article, we examine policies related to in-state resident tuition and state financial aid policies aimed at undocumented students. To help frame the discussion and spark further debate and research in this area the article seeks to do three things. First, it provides a comprehensive review of state and institutional in-state tuition policies aimed at undocumented students as well as state college or university system responses. Second, it charts the policy landscape for state financial aid access for this population. Third, it examines the numerous implications that such policies engender and highlights the role of the federal government and the proposed Dream Act in mitigating some of these concerns. It closes by underscoring the important financial role played by the critical interaction of state, institutional, and federal policies in making college going a reality for these students while proposing avenues for future study around the issue.
