Golden Gate [X]press : AB 540, dreaming for a higher education:
"The dream: Access to higher education for undocumented students.
The goal: to inform students that it's possible to achieve that dream.
That's what Improvement Dreams, Equity, Access and Success, a new student organization at SF State is all about.
Founded in fall 2008 and currently with over 20 members, the organization has been devoted to organizing events that provide information ranging from how to apply to a university to information on scholarships and other resources available on and off campus for undocumented AB 540 students.
AB 540 is a California law, passed in 2001, that allows students, including undocumented students to pay in-state tuition in public universities and community colleges if they have gone to high school for three years and have graduated. These students are excluded from applying to federal or state financial aid like FAFSA."
