Undocumented & DACAmented Students

Undocumented & DACAmented Students

The First Generation Plus Success Center staff seeks to provide access to resources – including legal assistance and scholarships – to undocumented students to ensure all needs are met regardless of income, cultural background, or residency.


IDEAS at USC

IDEAS at USC (Improving Dreams, Equality, Access, and Success) was founded in Spring 2011 in order to create a safe space and positive dialogue among undocumented students (DREAMers) and allies. This student organization is focused on student needs, concerns, and challenges of the undocumented student communities.
