Abstract

Although thousands of undocumented immigrant students graduate from U.S. high schools each year, only a small percentage of those students opt to enroll in higher education facilities following their graduation. While scholars have discussed the impacts of state and federal legislation that limit the financial aid benefits undocumented students have access to, little has been written about the impacts of tangible enrollment bans.
