Undocumented and DACA Students

All students, regardless of citizenship status or national origin, are encouraged to apply for admission.

Pittsburg State University is committed to providing access to students from all backgrounds and has long been supporting diversity in higher education. Pitt State strives to provide a welcoming community for all students.

Admission Application

We encourage all students, regardless of citizenship status or national origin, to apply. This includes undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students graduating from U.S. high schools.

Undocumented and DACA students should complete the Application for Admission and follow the same application procedures and deadlines as other first-year or transfer applicants. When completing the application, please select the following fields whether or not you have been granted DACA status.

Select your citizenship status:
Other (Non-US)

For more information about the application process for undocumented and DACA students, please contact David Hogard at dhogard@pittstate.edu or 620-235-4251.

Financial Aid

Pitt State meets 100% of the demonstrated need of all admitted students who apply for financial aid during the admission process. Undocumented students are considered for need-based financial aid like any U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Because federal financial aid is not available for undocumented students, institutional funding is used in its place. Undocumented students residing in Kansas may be eligible to receive state grant funds.

Financial Aid Application Process

The financial aid process for undocumented students is similar to the process for U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents; however, the federal FAFSA application is waived for undocumented students.
