Which of the following is an example of an eligible noncitizen for Title IV aid?

• A. U.S. citizen
• B. Employment Authorization card holder
• C. DACA student
• D. Victim of human trafficking

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that Title IV aid is available to citizens and eligible noncitizens—those who have specific immigration statuses that qualify for federal student aid. Among the options, someone who is a victim of human trafficking often holds a T nonimmigrant status, which is explicitly recognized as an eligible status for Title IV aid. That makes them an eligible noncitizen.

A U.S. citizen is not a noncitizen, so not applicable here. An Employment Authorization card holder isn’t guaranteed eligibility for federal aid because EAD alone doesn’t confer the specific eligible noncitizen status required. DACA recipients are generally not eligible for federal student aid, even though they may have other forms of support.

So, the example that fits the eligible noncitizen category for Title IV aid is the victim of human trafficking.
