Abstract	Immigrant students, including Dreamers, face significant barriers in accessing a postsecondary education and have faced increased hardship as a result of the pandemic with little access to additional supports. As part of the ongoing negotiations of the Build Back Better Act, the America's College Promise program, which would have guaranteed two years of free community college to all, will not be included in the final bill. However, Congress is still considering several proposals that would increase funding for postsecondary education and provide support for immigrant students. Critical among these is expanded eligibility for federal student aid including Pell Grants to students eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program, and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) through 2030, while also increasing the Pell amount by $500 and including undocumented immigrants in tuition assistance grants to minority-serving institutions. In this article, the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) calls on Congress to defend the funding for postsecondary education, as well as pass a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and other undocumented immigrants who are critical to the country's future. In addition, they have detailed a number of other factors that Congress should consider to support undocumented students. (ERIC).
