Swarthmore College

Swarthmore, PA

Does your school provide merit aid specially for undocumented students?: Not specifically, but all are eligible.
Is there a special contact point for undocumented students?: Students can reach out to any of our admissions deans or financial aid officers. Natalie Gainer in the Admissions office works with our undocumented students closely.
What other piece of advice would you give an undocumented student hoping for admission at your school?: I see more and more students who decide not to apply because of their status. I hope students see our policies and understand that Swarthmore College welcomes undocumented and DACAmented students each year with the same considerations we give to domestic applicants.

Other financial aid information: The CSS and accompanying materials and documents as required on the financial aid checklist (accessible after a student applies).

Are there organized groups or clubs comprised of or advocating for undocumented students in your school?: Yes, there"s an organized student group for undocumented students, as well as students with undocumented family members. All are welcome. We also have a professional staff member who serves as an advisor to our undocumented students.
