Hello all, I am a student that was provided with a work permit through DACA (Deferred Action), this is similar to the Dream Act except that we are not provided citizenship nor Visa. They only provide us with a two year permit to reside in the country without being expelled.
I am to start Pharmacy school at UIC this Fall 2014. When applying for loans, many have rejected me because I do not have a credit history (we were just provided with a Social Security number) and Sallie Mae is not allowing me to apply because I do not have a I94 form nor any other type of Visa.
I am becoming very nervous because no one seems to know how we could possible afford a graduate programs. Scholarships are very helpful but I cannot fully count on them to pay a full ride.
Please, if anyone has been able to obtain loans, let me know !
