National Skills Coalition Explores New Immigration Announcement -

What Does It Mean for Adult Learners?

Amanda Bergson-Shilcock, with the National Skills Coalition (NSC), recently wrote a blog on the implications of the Biden administration's June 18 announcement on immigration status for the long-time undocumented residents who are married to US citizens.

The Biden administration’s June 18 announcement means that certain undocumented immigrants who are married to US citizens will be able to apply for permanent resident (“green card”) status without having to leave the United States.

The announcement applies only to a subset of undocumented immigrant spouses of US citizens – those who have been long-term residents of the United States and who meet other strict criteria.

The NSC blog provides a preview of how this process will work for our students who meet the criteria outlined in the June 18 announcement.

The U.S. Department of Education invites you to drive and support student completion of the 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Adult education programs play a crucial role in advancing social mobility within our higher education system. It is essential that we all actively promote FAFSA completion to support first-time attendees, currently enrolled students, and previously enrolled students who have earned some credits but have not yet obtained a credential or degree. Completing a FAFSA can unlock additional resources, making education more accessible and affordable. Completing the FAFSA places affordable postsecondary education within reach for thousands of students.

The US Department of Education is launching a FAFSA Completion Summer Outreach campaign. We hope you will join this initiative! You can use this folder of FAFSA Completion promotional resources. They are calling for a united effort to remind students to complete the FAFSA and reinforce that there is still time to access financial aid for classes this fall.

Adult education programs are key partners in this effort, given the high percentage of Pell-eligible students you serve. Please consider different ways your program could support FAFSA completion to reach current and prospective students this summer:

Conduct FAFSA promotional campaigns and completion events.

Coordinate with local and community-based organizations to host their students. Enlist current students as Summer Peer Mentors who can assist with FAFSA completion and enrollment. Engage in public outreach via social media.

Thank you for considering participating in and promoting a successful Summer FAFSA Outreach campaign.
