So Much Potential

Tools For College Planning Regardless Of Immigration Status

Welcome to “So Much Potential,” a DACA and undocu-friendly college planning resource site!

Our primary audience is school counselors, as one of the key resource people along the path to college for any student. We know that learning about DACA or legal immigration status was not part of your training, so we hope to supplement your knowledge and bolster your ability to work with all students. This site will provide resources that you can navigate quickly if you are learning on-the-job while helping one of your students who have DACA, is undocumented, or lives in a mixed-status family. We are happy if other school staff members, community members, students, or family are able to use this site as well!  Our only purpose is to shine a light on the pathway to college for all students who want it.

June 1, 2020 By Dr. Laura M. Gonzalez

“I started going to a community college. It was hard at the beginning because I was one of the very first ones that were accepted and… nobody really knew what DACA was.
