While undocumented and DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) students do not qualify for federal aid through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student aid), there are other resources available to help with educational costs.
New and returning students applying for financial aid will receive their financial aid offer notifications electronically via myUIconnect. You will be notified that your offer is ready to be viewed via an e-mail notification. Furthermore, you should be checking your official UIS email account regularly, at least once a week, for updates on your financial aid status and other important financial aid notifications or billing notices.
