In filling out paperwork required to get its portion of the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2021/09/affordable-student-housing/\">$2 billion Gov. Gavin Newsom set aside for student housing\u003c/a>, Cal State incorrectly assumed that it could use that money — and only that money — to build dorms and apartments for lower-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reality, state rules allow Cal State to combine this limited pot of state money with outside funds, such as dollars from bonds the university regularly issues. Using a mix of funds allows a campus to either build larger structures to include more beds or combine projects to house more students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consequence for Cal State’s blunder: Unless state lawmakers intervene, as many as 3,000 students will be deprived of affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CalMatters discovered the discrepancy by reviewing building applications, official correspondence and other documents related to the three-year, $2 billion Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program that the Legislature approved in this year’s state budget. Over that three-year period, Cal State is slated to receive $600 million from the grant program to build housing at low rents for students.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Assemblymember Phil Ting\"]'If CSU erroneously submitted their application based on a bureaucratic misunderstanding, we should give them every opportunity to correct it.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The error comes after a Cal State vice chancellor implored the state to change the rules to accommodate more flexible spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state housing program is seen as one way to defray much of the costs of college attendance. More than half of Cal State and UC students from California don’t pay for tuition, but campus rent can tack on as much as $11,000 a year for Cal State students, though federal grants can help cover those expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably hundreds of thousands of California university and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2021/09/affordable-student-housing/\">community college students struggle to afford a stable place to live\u003c/a>.

Applications for using the funds were due by Oct. 31. Because the deadline came and went, a do-over for Cal State is tricky, said Rebecca Kirk, a project manager at the Department of Finance, an agency of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration that is overseeing management of the student housing grant money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because that initial filing round had an established deadline of October 31, that was kind of the cutoff on the initial rounds,” she said in an interview. Fixing the error would be “a pretty significant potential change” to the proposals, Kirk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department has until March 1 of next year to submit to the Legislature a list of recommended housing projects the state should fund. From there, lawmakers and the governor will ultimately decide what gets funded in either the state’s budget process or a standalone bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether lawmakers could allow Cal State to come up with new construction plans to make better use of the money. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB169\">The law governing these funds\u003c/a> is silent on whether lawmakers can deviate from what campuses initially proposed in their applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If CSU erroneously submitted their application based on a bureaucratic misunderstanding, we should give them every opportunity to correct it,” said Assemblymember Phil Ting, a Democrat from San Francisco who is chair of the Assembly’s budget committee, one of the two committees that will receive the Department of Finance’s recommendations. “Student housing is too important of an issue to let bureaucracy stand in the way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speed at which the decisions have to be made is intentional: The law prioritizes affordable student housing projects that can start construction by the end of 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cal State system owned up to its error when asked by CalMatters. The university “misinterpreted” \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Higher-Education-Student-Housing-Grant-Program-FAQs.pdf\">the guidance that the Department of Finance gave campuses\u003c/a> as “intending for the program to fund the student housing grant project in its entirety,” Vi San Juan, Cal State’s vice chancellor in charge of construction, wrote in a statement. The Department of Finance’s guidance, shared with the state’s public higher education systems Oct. 7, said that “proposals that include funding contributions from other sources will be considered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirk said the system could revise its remaining proposals that aren’t funded in the first year of the program in the funding rounds for 2022 and 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-mixing-state-and-outside-funds-can-mean-more-student-housing\">Mixing state and outside funds can mean more student housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The potentially massive setback for students comes as a result of a misunderstanding of the rules by the Cal State system that has persisted for weeks. On Nov. 8, Robert Eaton, the Cal State vice chancellor who oversees financing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.assembly.ca.gov/media/assembly-budget-subcommittee-2-education-finance-20211108/video?time%5Bassembly-budget-subcommittee-2-education-finance-20211108%5D=7177.313904\">mistakenly told lawmakers in a public hearing that the student housing grant program’s funds cannot be combined with other money\u003c/a>. He then urged lawmakers to change the program’s rules to allow for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doing so “would spread the grant dollars over a larger number of projects, thereby potentially providing affordability benefits to an even greater number of students,” Eaton said. The Cal State system can easily borrow money through its existing construction bond program. Eaton said that already about a third of Cal State’s $8.8 billion construction bond debt is for financing student housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say now’s an especially ripe time to plan for housing construction because borrowing rates are so low. The savings from near-zero interest plus state housing dollars drive down the cost of construction, which leads to student savings because campuses can charge less for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack McGrory, a Cal State trustee, said in an interview that if the system were allowed to use a mix of funds, it could build 5,000 to 6,000 beds rather than the roughly 3,300 it proposed. McGrory, a building developer in San Diego, spoke with CalMatters before it became clear that the flexibility Cal State sought was already built into the state student housing program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a tactic the University of California knew to pursue in its state student housing applications. UCLA, for example, wants to use $35 million in state grant money and $29 million of its own \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UCLA-SB169-Suppl-App.pdf\">to build 179 doubles with private bathrooms\u003c/a>. Because of the new housing grant’s affordability rules, rents per student will be $600 a month when the project is completed in 2025 — about a third of what UCLA typically charges for such accommodations, the UC application said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UCB-SB169-Suppl-App.pdf\">UC Berkeley plans to use $100 million in state housing money\u003c/a> in conjunction with about $200 million in UC bond money to bring down the rents students will eventually pay.

In filling out paperwork required to get its portion of the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2021/09/affordable-student-housing/\">$2 billion Gov.

Applications for using the funds were due by Oct. 31. Because the deadline came and went, a do-over for Cal State is tricky, said Rebecca Kirk, a project manager at the Department of Finance, an agency of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration that is overseeing management of the student housing grant money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because that initial filing round had an established deadline of October 31, that was kind of the cutoff on the initial rounds,” she said in an interview. Fixing the error would be “a pretty significant potential change” to the proposals, Kirk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department has until March 1 of next year to submit to the Legislature a list of recommended housing projects the state should fund. From there, lawmakers and the governor will ultimately decide what gets funded in either the state’s budget process or a standalone bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether lawmakers could allow Cal State to come up with new construction plans to make better use of the money. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB169\">The law governing these funds\u003c/a> is silent on whether lawmakers can deviate from what campuses initially proposed in their applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If CSU erroneously submitted their application based on a bureaucratic misunderstanding, we should give them every opportunity to correct it,” said Assemblymember Phil Ting, a Democrat from San Francisco who is chair of the Assembly’s budget committee, one of the two committees that will receive the Department of Finance’s recommendations. “Student housing is too important of an issue to let bureaucracy stand in the way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speed at which the decisions have to be made is intentional: The law prioritizes affordable student housing projects that can start construction by the end of 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cal State system owned up to its error when asked by CalMatters. The university “misinterpreted” \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Higher-Education-Student-Housing-Grant-Program-FAQs.pdf\">the guidance that the Department of Finance gave campuses\u003c/a> as “intending for the program to fund the student housing grant project in its entirety,” Vi San Juan, Cal State’s vice chancellor in charge of construction, wrote in a statement. The Department of Finance’s guidance, shared with the state’s public higher education systems Oct. 7, said that “proposals that include funding contributions from other sources will be considered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirk said the system could revise its remaining proposals that aren’t funded in the first year of the program in the funding rounds for 2022 and 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-mixing-state-and-outside-funds-can-mean-more-student-housing\">Mixing state and outside funds can mean more student housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The potentially massive setback for students comes as a result of a misunderstanding of the rules by the Cal State system that has persisted for weeks. On Nov. 8, Robert Eaton, the Cal State vice chancellor who oversees financing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.assembly.ca.gov/media/assembly-budget-subcommittee-2-education-finance-20211108/video?time%5Bassembly-budget-subcommittee-2-education-finance-20211108%5D=7177.313904\">mistakenly told lawmakers in a public hearing that the student housing grant program’s funds cannot be combined with other money\u003c/a>. He then urged lawmakers to change the program’s rules to allow for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doing so “would spread the grant dollars over a larger number of projects, thereby potentially providing affordability benefits to an even greater number of students,” Eaton said. The Cal State system can easily borrow money through its existing construction bond program. Eaton said that already about a third of Cal State’s $8.8 billion construction bond debt is for financing student housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say now’s an especially ripe time to plan for housing construction because borrowing rates are so low. The savings from near-zero interest plus state housing dollars drive down the cost of construction, which leads to student savings because campuses can charge less for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack McGrory, a Cal State trustee, said in an interview that if the system were allowed to use a mix of funds, it could build 5,000 to 6,000 beds rather than the roughly 3,300 it proposed. McGrory, a building developer in San Diego, spoke with CalMatters before it became clear that the flexibility Cal State sought was already built into the state student housing program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a tactic the University of California knew to pursue in its state student housing applications. UCLA, for example, wants to use $35 million in state grant money and $29 million of its own \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UCLA-SB169-Suppl-App.pdf\">to build 179 doubles with private bathrooms\u003c/a>. Because of the new housing grant’s affordability rules, rents per student will be $600 a month when the project is completed in 2025 — about a third of what UCLA typically charges for such accommodations, the UC application said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UCB-SB169-Suppl-App.pdf\">UC Berkeley plans to use $100 million in state housing money\u003c/a> in conjunction with about $200 million in UC bond money to bring down the rents students will eventually pay.

The scholarship covers a year’s worth of fees—usually $46 per credit hour—for first-time, full-time students in community college districts that meet certain requirements, such as participating in the federal student loan program and offering counseling services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, according to Youngblood, is who isn’t eligible: part-time students, who make up more than two thirds of the community college population. While research shows students taking 12 units or more per semester are more likely to earn a degree or certificate, Youngblood says many low-income students are simply too busy working to handle a full-time course load.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with rent, food, bus fare or car costs, and hundreds of dollars out of pocket every semester for textbooks, she said, students typically need those paychecks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of times legislators are disconnected from what students actually endure,” she said. “It sounds good, but for a lot of people, especially students of color, it’s unrealistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Youngblood’s skepticism illustrates the complexity of debates about tuition-free college programs, which are springing up around the country at a time of rising discontent with student debt and widespread evidence of food insecurity and homelessness on campus. Some state plans have garnered bipartisan support. But often, say college affordability advocates, “free” doesn’t really mean free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Promise program, for example, doesn’t address non-tuition costs, which make up the bulk of community college students’ total price of attendance. When those are taken into account, in most regions of the state, low-income students pay a higher net price for community college than they would to attend a California State University campus or University of California campus, according to a recent report from The Institute for College Access and Success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because there’s more grant aid available at the state’s four-year universities, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For community college students, “there isn’t nearly enough financial aid to bring their other costs of college in reach,” said TICAS vice president Debbie Cochrane in a statement accompanying the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent Hope Center survey of 40,000 California community college students, half reported experiencing food insecurity in the past year; one in five said they’d been homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11725158\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3-800x565.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3-800x565.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3-1020x721.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3-1200x848.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3-1920x1357.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, the bill’s author, says he sees the College Promise program as just one piece of a larger college affordability agenda. The program’s requirement that students apply for other federal or state aid, the Los Angeles Democrat said, is designed to lead them to grants that might help cover their living costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over a third of high school graduates nationwide didn’t complete a federal student aid application in 2018, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/2018-fafsa-study/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NerdWallet analysis\u003c/a>, leaving $2.6 billion in need-based Pell Grants on the table.

There’s responsibility on both sides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s economy will need about a million more college graduates by 2030 than the state is on track to produce, the Public Policy Institute of California \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimates\u003c/a>.

Gavin Newsom’s proposed 2019-2020 budget. Community colleges have spent the past year building food pantries and making it easier for students to spend food stamps on campus, thanks to $10 million in grants from a state fund aimed at fighting college hunger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that money expires this year, and Newsom didn’t include plans to renew it—though the governor did set aside $40 million to provide a second year tuition-free, along with more support for students with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of anti-hunger activists and student government groups has drafted a letter to legislative leaders asking them for $20 million to combat hunger on community college campuses next year, along with $5 million each for UC and CSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The forward momentum in preventing hunger on college campuses has been tremendous,” reads the draft letter, which the coalition shared with CALmatters. “Without this funding, campus leaders expect to lose momentum and even lose ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11725160\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4-800x669.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4-800x669.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4-160x134.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4-1020x853.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4-1200x1004.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4-1920x1606.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because California already waived community college tuition for low-income students prior to the Promise program—the income ceiling is about $37,000 for a family of four—it mostly helps students whose families earn too much to qualify for a waiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That poses a dilemma for people like Chris Nellum, director of higher education research at The Education Trust-West, which works to close the achievement gap for low-income students and students of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is really challenging to say you don’t support a free college program,” he said. “It’s something I struggle with personally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this going to help students?

To qualify, students must be enrolled full-time and earn at least a 2.0 GPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Positas College, in the San Francisco Bay Area, has also used part of its Promise funds to help students with textbooks—up to $500 per semester. The college will spend the rest on hiring more financial aid counselors to help students apply for other forms of aid, said vice president of student services William Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While about half of the college’s students already paid no fees, said Garcia, very few of them had any assistance with textbooks and supplies, which can cost full-time students nearly $2,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you start the first day of class and don’t have that book the teacher’s requiring, you’re going to get behind from day one,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11725162\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/college-hidden-costs-graphic-4-800x491.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/college-hidden-costs-graphic-4-800x491.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/college-hidden-costs-graphic-4-160x98.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/college-hidden-costs-graphic-4-1020x626.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/college-hidden-costs-graphic-4-1200x736.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/college-hidden-costs-graphic-4-1920x1178.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of a universal tuition waiver say its importance is symbolic.

To qualify, students must be enrolled full-time and earn at least a 2.0 GPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Positas College, in the San Francisco Bay Area, has also used part of its Promise funds to help students with textbooks—up to $500 per semester.

Still, paying in-state tuition remains difficult for undocumented students from lower-income families. That is why the tuition and fee waivers may be needed to further expand opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A closer look\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nOur study examined the transcripts of more than 26,000 students entering a set of California community colleges between 2011 and 2014. We could identify students who were likely undocumented because the colleges we studied collected resident status information to determine financial aid awards. About 10 percent of the students in the data fell into this category. We base this on the fact that the students checked the “other visa” box instead of other options, such as U.S. citizen, permanent resident or international student visa, to indicate their status. Also, these students appeared in the local high school data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We determined the impact of the California DREAM Act by comparing the outcomes of undocumented students to the outcomes of U.S. citizen students before and after the policy. Citizen students served as a “control” group since the policy change didn’t affect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the California DREAM Act, some undocumented students with higher GPAs than U.S. citizen students were not enrolling in college. The promise of aid made these high-achieving undocumented students more likely to enroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of aid also apparently led undocumented high school students to improve their GPAs between 11th and 12th grade. For instance, Hispanic U.S. citizen students increased their GPA by 0.11 points between 11th to 12th grades. This figure held steady before and after the policy. But for undocumented Hispanic students, the average change grew from 0.08 before the policy to 0.11 points afterwards. This suggests that undocumented students might have started to see college as more of a possibility and worked hard in class as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The college try\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI believe our findings suggest that states with in-state resident tuition policies should replicate the California DREAM Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If such a proposed policy draws opposition from critics who think state resources should not be given to undocumented immigrants, then perhaps free community college programs, or \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/can-college-promise-programs-deliver-87850\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">“promise\" programs,\u003c/a> for local high school graduates may be a way to support all low-income students, \u003ca href=\"https://edtrust.org/resource/can-undocumented-students-access-free-college-programs/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">provided they are accessible to undocumented students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, the results of this study show that undocumented students have dreams of completing college.

For those who see \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/12/18/tucker-carlsons-immigration-comments-lead-companies-pull-ads/2356151002/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">immigrants as undesirables\u003c/a>, our study offers a counter-narrative – that many are just aspiring college students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted that in-state resident tuition benefits for undocumented students have already lowered the cost of college for undocumented students in \u003ca href=\"https://epaa.asu.edu/ojs/article/view/2809\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">17 states\u003c/a>. These states include California and Texas, which have the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/interactives/unauthorized-immigrants/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">largest\u003c/a> undocumented populations. Still, paying in-state tuition remains difficult for undocumented students from lower-income families. That is why the tuition and fee waivers may be needed to further expand opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A closer look\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nOur study examined the transcripts of more than 26,000 students entering a set of California community colleges between 2011 and 2014. We could identify students who were likely undocumented because the colleges we studied collected resident status information to determine financial aid awards. About 10 percent of the students in the data fell into this category. We base this on the fact that the students checked the “other visa” box instead of other options, such as U.S. citizen, permanent resident or international student visa, to indicate their status. Also, these students appeared in the local high school data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We determined the impact of the California DREAM Act by comparing the outcomes of undocumented students to the outcomes of U.S. citizen students before and after the policy. Citizen students served as a “control” group since the policy change didn’t affect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the California DREAM Act, some undocumented students with higher GPAs than U.S. citizen students were not enrolling in college. The promise of aid made these high-achieving undocumented students more likely to enroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of aid also apparently led undocumented high school students to improve their GPAs between 11th and 12th grade. For instance, Hispanic U.S. citizen students increased their GPA by 0.11 points between 11th to 12th grades. This figure held steady before and after the policy. But for undocumented Hispanic students, the average change grew from 0.08 before the policy to 0.11 points afterwards. This suggests that undocumented students might have started to see college as more of a possibility and worked hard in class as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The college try\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI believe our findings suggest that states with in-state resident tuition policies should replicate the California DREAM Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If such a proposed policy draws opposition from critics who think state resources should not be given to undocumented immigrants, then perhaps free community college programs, or \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/can-college-promise-programs-deliver-87850\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">“promise\" programs,\u003c/a> for local high school graduates may be a way to support all low-income students, \u003ca href=\"https://edtrust.org/resource/can-undocumented-students-access-free-college-programs/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">provided they are accessible to undocumented students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, the results of this study show that undocumented students have dreams of completing college.
