Arizona Regents Expand Tuition Rate Discount Paid By DACA Students
PHOENIX – On Thursday, the Arizona Board of Regents voted unanimously to expand access to a tuition rate paid to students who graduated from Arizona high schools, but are living in the country illegally.
The Regents, primarily appointed by Governor Doug Ducey, removed the requirement that a student be lawfully present in Arizona to be eligible for a discounted rate, effective immediately.
In a tweet, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce called the move “the right thing to do. This tuition rate will help ensure more Ariz. high school grads can attend Ariz. universities. Let’s give these talented kids the chance to study and build a life here.”
The Regents also approved the rate for legal U.S. residents who lost their status as Arizona residents.
