No. Undocumented students, including DACA students, are not eligible for aid from the federal government. However, we encourage you to apply for the scholarships offered at NWTC. 

Yes! Your parents’ immigration status does not affect your eligibility for federal student aid. The FAFSA doesn’t ask your parents’ status; however, the FAFSA may ask for your parent's social security number. You can enter all zeros in its place. You should not enter their Individual Taxpayer Identification Number or ITIN number as this can delay the financial aid review process.
