Episode: ‘I got you’: Illinois educators help undocumented students find path to college
Description: For undocumented students with college dreams, Illinois is one of the better states to be.
It’s one of 19 where they can get state funding and pay in-state tuition rates for higher education.
Just as important are the adults here working overtime to help students navigate a maze of paperwork and find a campus where they can succeed.
WBEZ’s Lisa Kurian Philip takes us to Mansueto High School in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood to meet some of them.
