Educators
for Fair Consideration’s mission is to support undocumented students in
realizing their academic and career goals and actively contributing to
society. Since 2006, we have offered scholarships, legal services,
career internships, and a peer network for undocumented students in the
San Francisco Bay Area. We also lead presentations and create
educational materials to raise awareness about the needs of
undocumented students nationwide.

JUST RELEASED! E4FC'S NEW "LIFE AFTER COLLEGE GUIDE"
This 73-page guide contains valuable information, tips, and resources to help undocumented students navigate life after graduation. While initially it may seem as though undocumented students have limited options upon graduating from college, this guide is intended to shed light on the possibilities that do exist. The guide has been written to be as inclusive and comprehensive as possible by including personal narratives, student testimonials and advice from experts. We hope that undocumented students and allies will feel encouraged and unafraid of the next steps. Find out more.

On Monday, January 23rd, Jose Arreola, E4FC's Outreach Manager, was featured on Marketplace from American Public Media. His commentary begins "We had to decide whether we were going north or south to get into California. My friend decided it would be best to go south to avoid the big snow storm up north. But south would take us through Arizona. I really really didn't want to go through Arizona. I got more and more nervous. I felt paralyzed. My friend kept asking me what my problem was. Finally I told him: I'm undocumented.n a cross-country drive, Jose Arreola must tell a close friend his deepest secret -- he's undocumented." Listen.
