Our school does not provide merit aid specifically for undocumented students through our own means. However, we partner with Golden Door Scholars to offer scholarships to undoumented, TPS, or DACA students that covers the full cost of tuition, room and board, and fees. Students apply for this scholarship through goldenscholars.org. Students must have a high GPA, take rigorous high school courses, and be an active member in their community or in leadership positions.
Yes, we offer undocumented students with merit-based scholarships. Since undocumented students are not eligible to complete the FAFSA, we have a Financial Responsibility Form they can complete instead that will determine students' financial need and their eligibility for need-based scholarships.
Undocumented students are considered international students, but since we are a private insitution, there is no difference in tuition for them. We do not have in-state vs. out-of-state tuition. all students pay the same amount for tuition, room and board, and fees.
Do not be discouraged by your legal status. We are welcoming to all students! If you have any questions about the college process, we are here to help whether you come here
No, undocumented students qualify for merit-based scholarships too.
Yes! Our enrollment officer for international students is Darin Hinson (d.hinson@wingate.edu). If they were to need help in Spanish, they can also reach out to our Spanish-speaking enrollment officer, Mayra Rosales (m.rosales@wingate.edu).
