Mexicans lag behind in obtaining a college degree in NYC

<p>Sure, that was made clear in the article. (Undocumenteds are eligible for instate tuition in California, too.) But, as I posted previously, undocumenteds are not eligible for federal Pell Grants nor federal Stafford Loans. Since many of the Mexicans in the article are poor, that is ~$9k in federal support that they cannot receive as an ‘international’. THAT is the $$ that NYS would have to replace so they could attend college. Even with instate tuition costs, US colleges are still out of reach for most of the ‘international’ poor.</p>
