"The U.S. is home to over 408,000 undocumented students enrolled in higher education. These students pursue postsecondary education to address critical skill shortages and to better support their families, communities, and the U.S. economy. However, they face numerous immigration-related barriers, such as out-of-state tuition costs in states without tuition equity, lack of access to federal financial aid, and restrictive state or campus-level policies that limit their access to higher education, degree completion, and post-graduate career opportunities."

Black Immigrant College Graduates: Where they live and where they work

This brief examines first-generation Black immigrants in the U.S., focusing on individuals born abroad who now live in the country. It builds on previous research, including Dr. Felecia Russell’s work on Black undocumented students in higher education and a report by the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration (PAHEI) and the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) about inclusion for Black immigrants at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The report uses 2022 American Community Survey data and makes estimates about international students based on age and immigration status.
