About Undocu Academy

The Undocu Academy is a 1-year program for undocumented high school seniors in New York City. We provide mentoring, 1-1 guidance with college and financial aid applications, workshops on options after high school and adulting as undocumented students, and scholarship opportunities. We require students to attend 2-hour sessions twice a week and actively communicate with mentors and facilitators.

Once you have applied, you may receive an invitation for an interview during July to further learn about you and discuss your fit for the program. There is limited space, so we urge you to apply to submit your application before the deadline, July 20th at 5 PM.

If you have any questions, contact us at edu@nysylc.org.

There’s so much support there... It was a community of people who were going through the same thing as me, and we were all able to talk about it and ask questions that we wouldn’t be able to ask our counselors
