Abstract
ABSTRACT Undocumented immigrant students represent 2% of the total U.S. higher education population. Due to their citizenship status, many undocumented high school students encounter barriers to college access including prohibitive admissions policies, increased tuition rates, and funding restrictions. Some undocumented students experience anxiety, frustration, and fear due to these barriers. School counselors can utilize group counseling to guide undocumented students through the college access process and potentially cultivate hope for the future. This article details a college access group for undocumented high school students. The group goals and activities utilize a Hope Theory framework.
