MALDEF:
"Financial Aid for Non-citizens
College-bound students who are not citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States are not eligible for State or federal financial assistance because of their immigration status. In addition, they are  generally classified as international students and  therefore are required  to pay higher tuition and fees. However, the Mexican American Legal  Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), has compiled a list of scholarships  that are open to undocumented students. The list is available on MALDEF's website at http://www.maldef.org or by calling (213) 629-2512."
