Increased College Access for Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa Residents

This act aims to make higher education in the U.S. more accessible for residents of the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa by covering the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition fees. This will provide students from these territories with more choices of institutions and reduce their financial burden, significantly impacting their educational and professional futures.
Key points
Funding will cover the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition, up to $15,000 annually and $45,000 total.
The program expands educational opportunities for public high school graduates from the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa seeking to study in the U.S.
Governors of both territories will administer the program, with the ability to prioritize aid based on students' financial need.
