Refugee Access to Higher Education

Overview

In this work, we explore how displaced individuals--refugees, asylees, parolees, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders must navigate resettlement and higher education policies as they attempt to pursue higher education. 

Our Work

Racial disparities in educational access and attainment pervade the US context, directly affecting individual and community health, wealth, and well-being. Displaced learners – refugee, asylee, parolee, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders –contend with the burden of exclusionary education policies at federal, state, and local levels. Further, displaced learners pursuing postsecondary training navigate migration, labor, and human services policies that fail to center their learning experience. Our research considers the intersection of refugee resettlement agencies, higher education institutions, and the experiences of displaced learners.

Resources

Our series of webinars is designed specifically for refugees and practitioners supporting refugees. These sessions aim to provide valuable resources and support to help navigate the challenges faced in navigating higher education. Join us as we share insights, tools, and community connections to empower you on your journey. We look forward to learning and growing together!
