Description
Summary:This study aims to gain a greater understanding of the financial experiences of students with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) status enrolled in college. The study uses a data set that includes 317 self-identified DACA college students enrolled in 65 two- and four-year institutions nationwide, one of the largest samples of DACA students available. Results suggest that DACA students have higher levels of financial stress than their non-DACA counterparts but report similar levels of optimism about their own financial futures.
