Undocumented students find the path through college
"Salgado is
fortunate that private universities like Dominican make a conscious
effort to help undocumented students. Merit and private scholarships
will cover two-thirds of her tuition. Dominican University President Donna Carroll said it is part of her
school’s Catholic mission to help undocumented students like Salgado. “Their courage is so admirable,” she said. “How can we as an institution not be as courageous as they are?” The Illinois law creates a DREAM commission that will manage the private
scholarships. It allows parents to buy into statewide college savings
plans and also requires high school counselors receive training to
assist undocumented students." - Teresa Puente, Nov. 10, 2011.
