<p>TPS is “Temporary Protected Status” which is a legal non-immigrant status awarded by USCIS to citizens of countries that are in temporary or on-going states of crisis. Someone with TPS can live and work in the US, and can study here without needing a student visa, but is considered an international applicant for financial aid purposes. Countries that qualify for TPS at present include El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Somalia, Sudan, but only if the individual meets other requirements as to date of first arrival in the US and uninterrupted residence here. Truly a tricky and messy situation!</p>

<p>I just remembered that one of my neighbors who has TPS, landed a big scholarship to a private U in the area, and is commuting from home to save money on housing. Would something like that work for you?</p>
