This week saw new and proposed changes in Arizona’s higher education system, with tuition in the spotlight.
For undocumented students in Arizona, some tuition relief may be on the way. A proposed Arizona Senate bill would grant in-state tuition to all students who graduated from an Arizona high school and lived in the state for at least two years. That includes undocumented students. The proposed bill passed the Arizona Senate Education Committee and will be considered by the state Senate.
A decade-old state proposition made it so undocumented students cannot access in-state tuition rates or financial aid. Currently, Arizona students in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program pay 150% of in-state tuition.
