Thread: Scholarships for Illegal Immigrants?

Ben, thanks for telling your friends about this. That's the best way to get this problem fixed.

Why does the government persist in rewarding illegality? I have no idea...... it needs to stop.

I worked in the finance department of a college for 5 years.

If you are aware of the college letting illegals use fraudulent documents/IDs so that they can receive federal student loans or grants----turn them into the Dept of Education!!! Have as much information as possible, such as student names, etc.

hi Joey,

I signed the petition and forwarded it to others to sign also. It is great that you are here. The young people (compared to me! ) of the US are the ones who will suffer the most from the policies of our traitorous government. We need more students like you who ask why it is that people who are in the country illegally should get financial aid when American students do not. If you have worked a summer job then you have been also paying into the system and deserve assistance more than an illegal who has not contributed anything.

WELCOME BEN AND JOEY. WE NEED MORE YOUNG PEOPLE HERE GETTING INTO THE FIGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. SPREAD THE WORD GUYS ABOUT ALIPAC AND NUMBERSUSA.COM

If you get several of your classmates and friends in the area to join Numbersusa.com you can join a "members connection". This will list you and other who want to be connected locally. (you can unsubscribe at any time) You can then get together and brainstorm on strategy's to get these things stopped besides being activists here at alipac.us and numbersusa with their free faxes to your representatives.

Here in Texas they have the Texas Grant - http://www.collegefortexans.com/TEXASGr ... SGrant.cfm

Wait, feduphispanic, is that scholarship for legals or illegals? If it's for illegals, that's horrible-I didn't know it had progressed that far.

I wonder what good old Huckabee is going to do now that Romney is backing McCain? It wont be V.P. time.

I guess he will carry on by making Arkansas a "sancturary state".

The top four links will take you to the Federal Student Aid Program
Clicking the bottom link will take you here, basically an application for aid provided by the State of TX for illegals.
I know of a US Citizen that tried to apply but was told to go to the Federal Student Aid Program.
