I am afraid of disclosing my status to my high school counselor. Is there anyone else who can help me navigate the college and financial aid application process?

You are not alone:

• Almost 30,000 U.S. citizens in Idaho have at least one undocumented family member
• Undocumented immigrants represented about 42 percent of Idaho’s immigrant population and 2.7 percent of the state population in 2014
• 58,327 people in Idaho, including 26,926 individuals born in the United States, had at least one undocumented family member between 2010-2014.1

Numerous organizations in Idaho may be able to answer questions or help connect you to people who can help you answer your questions:

• The Community Council of Idaho
• Catholic Charities of Idaho
• The American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho
• Centro de Comunidad y Justicia

The Latinx Student Services Coordinators might also be able to help you find answers specific to College of Western Idaho for you to apply to.
