About H4Path

Helping H4, L-2 and O-3 dependent students and families navigate school residency, tuition, and aid for undergraduate programs.

Who it's for

H4Path supports H-4, L-2 and O-3 dependent students and families who often fall between the typical "domestic" and "international" classifications — students raised and educated in the U.S. but excluded from standard in‑state aid.

The problem

Residency, tuition, and financial-aid rules are inconsistent across schools. That uncertainty costs students time and money because there isn't a single clear, cited source describing how each institution applies rules.

What it does

H4Path provides school-specific, cited answers about admissions classification, tuition residency, and aid eligibility. It draws on a curated policy database, plus a moderated forum and an AI verification layer that checks community answers against source policy.

What it's not

H4Path does not provide immigration, visa, or legal advice. When immigration touches a question, it points to official resources and notes why they may be relevant. It does not explain immigration mechanics.

H4Path only uses your name and email to sign you in. H4Path never asks about your visa or immigration status at signup.
