Anybody knows what opportunities exist out there for asylees to get financial aide for education?
You are absolutely eligable for financial aid. Just feel out FAFSA form. Almost guranteed that you will get Pell grant and Stanford loan + local state grants.

As an asylee you are an "elegible non-citizen" for financial aid. You have the same benefits as a US Citizen would have (FinAid stuffs).
STEPs:
1. Find the school(s) you would like to go.
2. Fill out the FAFSA on the web http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
3. The Dep. of educ. will determinate how much money you are elegible for.
If you qualify...the maximum aid it's usually about $4025 per year if you are a full time student and you keep a 2.5+ GPA.
In addition to this federal money, you could be elegible for other grants and non-interest loans...
You only need to have the desire of get an education, keep good grades, and your financial aid for the school is guarantee until you graduate...
