Financial Aid on Immigrant Status

Hostos Community College students who are not citizens of the U.S. may be eligible for some forms of financial aid, depending on their immigration status. Many of the students are on some form of immigrant status, ranging from permanent U.S. resident to temporary resident status.

For Title IV purposes, an eligible NonCitizen is one of the following:

• A U.S. permanent resident holding an Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551, Form I-151, or Form I-551C), or a passport.

• An applicant who has a Departure Record (I-94) with the appropriate endorsements.

• An applicant who has a suspension of deportation case pending before Congress, with appropriate documentation.

• Refugees, persons granted asylum and Cuban-Haitian Entrants.

• A permanent resident of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.

An Individual with an F-1 or F-2 Student Visa, J-1 or J-2 Exchange Visitors Visa, or G Series Visa is not eligible to apply for Title IV aid.
