Transferring to a University

Transferring to a four year university is no different in preparation and course work if you are a U.S. citizen or non-citizen. The difference is the type of financial aid and resources that are available to AB 540/Dream Act students. Worries of being able to afford college because of your status should not hinder you from transferring. In addition to a savings plan and working, if you are able to work, you will have to be resourceful in seeking scholarships, grants, support, and resources from the universities you are considering attending.
