Undergraduate Admissions & Financial Aid

Undergraduate Admissions & Financial Aid
Cornell welcomes applications for admission and financial aid from undocumented and DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) students. If you have questions about the admission and financial process at Cornell University, please contact admissions@cornell.edu. Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid strongly recommend that undocumented and DACA students contact them at the start of the admissions and financial aid process.

Undergraduate Admissions
DACA students applying to Cornell University: DACA recipients who attended and graduated from a U.S. high school will be considered as domestic applicants and eligible for a Cornell financial aid package that matches their demonstrated financial need. 

Undocumented students applying to Cornell University: Undocumented applicants without DACA who attended and graduated from a U.S. high school are similarly considered as domestic applicants and eligible for a Cornell financial aid package that matches their demonstrated financial need. 

Financial Aid
Undocumented students with and without DACA will be considered as domestic students by the University for the purposes of Financial Aid and be eligible for need-based institutional financial aid.
