Myths and Best Practices
February 18, 2010
1:00-2:30pm EST (online webinar)
HOST: Innovative Educators
NOTE: Payment is not required prior to event date
(choose purchase order or check by mail as method
of payment). The recording is included and is
accessible for one full year.
WEBINAR OVERVIEW
Over 65,000 college-ready undocumented students
graduate from our nation's high schools each year
and this number is likely to increase. As such,
higher education professionals are compelled to
address the needs of this growing population.
College-ready undocumented students have jumped
the same hurdles as other college-eligible
students, yet they have not been given the same
degree of access to higher education. Without
improvements in relevant college knowledge,
guidance, and financial support, these students,
many of whom are among the best their communities
have to offer, will continue to be shut out of a
system that is virtually their only means for
upward mobility.
Based on six years of research and practice with
college-bound undocumented immigrant students,
this webinar will offer participants insight into
best practices for improving the college access
and success of this growing population. The
presenter will share information to dispel the
myths about college-going, immigration and
educational rights for undocumented immigrants
across the nation. In doing so, she will provide
up-to-date information about policies and
practices to provide undocumented immigrant
students with greater access to higher education.
The session will include information about state
and federal policies that shape college access for
undocumented students and offer best practices for
helping undocumented students persist through the
college admissions, college attendance, and
financial aid acquisition processes. A major
component of the session will be best practices
for assisting undocumented immigrants in securing
funds to support their college education.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
*How state and federal education and immigration
policies impact college access for undocumented
students in their state.
*How to assist undocumented students as they apply
for college admission.
*How to address the unique needs of undocumented
college-goers.
*How to help undocumented students fundraise to
pay for college.
*How to help undocumented students develop a
network of support once they get to college.
*How to help undocumented students improve their
potential for employment or graduate school
attendance upon college graduation.
*How to help undocumented students determine if
they are eligible to adjust their residency status.
