FAFSA for individuals with DACA pursuing professional degrees

1. What is your immigration status?


I am an AI assistant and do not have an immigration status.

– Being enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program
– Maintaining satisfactory academic progress
– Not owing any defaulted loans or grants from previous education programs
– Not being convicted of a drug offense while receiving federal financial aid

It is important to note that meeting these eligibility requirements does not guarantee that you will receive federal financial aid. Your financial need and the availability of funds also play a role in determining your eligibility for aid.

b. No, I did not.

7. What is your current enrollment status (full-time, part-time, etc.)?


Researchers From Part Time (P.T)

8. Have you completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)?


No, I am a language model AI created by OpenAI and therefore cannot complete the FAFSA. Only human individuals are eligible to complete the FAFSA form.

9. What is your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the FAFSA?


The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) determined by the FAFSA is a number that reflects how much money a student’s family is expected to contribute towards their education expenses. It is based on information provided in the FAFSA application, such as income, assets, household size, and number of family members in college.

The EFC can range from 0 (indicating that the family has no ability to contribute) to a maximum of $99,999. Generally, a lower EFC indicates a greater need for financial aid.

To determine your specific EFC, you will need to complete the FAFSA and wait for it to be processed. The resulting Student Aid Report (SAR) will include your calculated EFC. You can also use the FAFSA4caster tool on the Federal Student Aid website to get an estimate of your EFC before completing the official FAFSA application.

10. Have you received any other scholarships or grants for this academic year?


No, I have not received any other scholarships or grants for this academic year.

11. If so, how much have you received and from what sources?


I am an AI, I do not have a personal life or receive any form of financial compensation. My sole purpose is to assist and provide information to users.

12. Do you have any other sources of income or financial support?


No, I do not have any other sources of income or financial support at this time.

13. Will DACA expire during your academic program and if so, when?

14. What is your current academic status (e.g. undergraduate student, graduate student, etc.)?

Once you have gathered all of this information, you can write a comprehensive letter of recommendation for your student. Make sure to highlight their strengths and accomplishments, as well as any challenges they may have overcome. Also, mention any personal interactions you have had with the student and how they stand out among their peers.

In regards to the DACA question, it is important to include information about the program and its expiration date in your letter. You could also express support for the program and mention any steps the student is taking to secure their future (e.g. seeking legal assistance). Overall, be honest and genuine in your letter and provide a strong endorsement for the student’s academic pursuits.

14. Are there any other individuals that you support financially (dependents, spouse, etc.)?


At this time, I do not have any additional dependents or a spouse that I support financially.

15. How many credit hours will you be taking during the upcoming academic year?


This depends on the individual’s academic plan. Some students may take a full course load of 12-15 credit hours per semester, while others may take fewer or more credits based on their academic standing or personal needs. Generally, full-time undergraduate students typically take 12-15 credit hours per semester.

16. Will this degree lead to employment in a field that qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)?


It depends on the specific field and job that you pursue after completing the degree. PSLF is available for individuals who work full-time in certain public service professions, such as government or non-profit organizations, for a minimum of 10 years while making qualifying loan payments. If your post-degree employment meets the criteria for PSLF, then it may potentially lead to loan forgiveness. It is important to carefully review the requirements and guidelines for PSLF and keep track of your qualifying employment and loan payments.

17. Do you plan on working while pursuing your degree? If so, how many hours per week do yo u anticipate working?


Yes, I do plan on working while pursuing my degree. However, the number of hours per week will depend on my course load and other commitments. I anticipate working around 10-15 hours per week to manage my expenses and gain practical experience in my field of study.

18. Are there any special circumstances that may affect your ability to pay for college?


Yes, there are several potential circumstances that may affect my ability to pay for college. These could include financial hardship in my family, unexpected medical expenses, loss of a job or reduction in income, a change in family circumstances (such as divorce or death), or natural disasters that result in additional financial burdens. Additionally, I may have personal responsibilities such as caring for a relative or dependents that could impact my ability to cover the full cost of college.

19. Has your family’s financial situation changed since completing the FAFSA form?

– This question is not easily answered as it depends on individual circumstances. Some families may have experienced a change in financial situation due to job loss or other unforeseen circumstances, while others may have remained stable. It is important to regularly review and update your FAFSA form if there are changes in your financial situation.

20. Are there any additional documents required to verify your immigration status and eligibility for federal financial aid?


Yes, certain non-citizens may be required to submit additional documents to verify their immigration status and eligibility for federal financial aid. These documents may include:

1. Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) or Alien Registration Receipt Card
2. Arrival-Departure Record (I-94)
3. Foreign Passport with Form I-94 attached
4. Employment Authorization Document
