Student Advocates for Higher Education (SAHE) at San José State University are motivated students mobilizing to create a strong student support group for undocumented immigrants (high school and college students).
Under California's AB540 law, undocumented students who complete at least three years of High School in California are now eligible to pay resident tuition. However, these students still remain as undocumented and hence cannot receive financial aid, participate in most internship programs, work study, etc., due to their unfortunate immigrant legal status. Can you see the problem?
Therefore, the purpose of SAHE is to encourage and increase the number of undocumented immigrant students attending and graduating from institutions of higher education.
SAHE promote the advancement of "AB540 students" through community service, scholarship, leadership, and other educational resources.
SAHE is open to all, and we especially welcome those who believe in our cause.
