Undocumented students are foreign nationals who come to the U.S. without legal documentation or have overstayed their visas. They may be eligible for in-state tuition under AB 540 at public colleges and universities in CA.
Each year, about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high schools across the U.S., with more than 25,000 graduating from CA alone.
Only 5-10% of undocumented high school graduates pursue higher education at two-year community colleges and four-year universities.
