The study focuses on the impact that Indiana House Bill 1402 (2011) has had on undocumented Latinx students as they navigate through the college choice process and attempt to access higher education in Indiana. The purpose of this study is to highlight the ways in which the legislation negatively impacts undocumented students each year as they attempt to further their education beyond high school. Through qualitative research, LatCrit as the theoretical framework, and Testimonios as the methodological approach, two individuals were interviewed and provided with an opportunity to share their lived experiences, their story, and how Indiana House Bill has impacted their life. The study found not only the challenges and barriers that undocumented students face when trying to access post-secondary education, but also the need for undocumented student advocates, policy change, and hope. 001469282 650__ $$aIndiana House Bill 1402 (2011) 001469282 650__ $$aLatCrit 001469282 650__ $$aUndocumented students 001469282 650__ $$aLatinx 001469282 650__ $$aLatin Americans$$0(DLC)sh 85074933 001469282 650__ $$aAccess to higher education 001469282 650__ $$aImmigration policies 001469282 650__ $$aTestimonios 001469282 6531_ $$aIndiana House Bill 1402 (2011) 001469282 6531_ $$aTestimonios 001469282 6531_ $$aLatCrit 001469282 6531_ $$aUndocumented 001469282 6531_ $$aLatinx 001469282 6531_ $$aHigher education 001469282 6531_ $$aqualitative research 001469282 6531_ $$aPost-secondary education 001469282 6531_ $$aStudent advocacy 001469282 6531_ $$aPolicy change 001469282 6531_ $$aHope 001469282 6531_ $$aCollege choice process 001469282 7001_ $$aBerrios Chavarria, Cesar$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001469282 8564_ $$99f673592-1bba-4ac2-932e-152de56f3c68$$s663389$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1469282/files/C_Berrios_Chavarria_EDD_Dissertation.pdf 001469282 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1469282$$pGLOBAL_SET 001469282 980__ $$aDISSERTATION
