Federal Funding Ban for Colleges Offering Undocumented Immigrant Tuition Benefits.
This legislation aims to cut off federal funding for states and public universities that provide in-state tuition rates or state financial aid to individuals not lawfully present in the United States. Public institutions must stop offering these benefits to maintain access to crucial federal financial assistance. The goal is to ensure federal taxpayer dollars prioritize education for US citizens and lawful residents, potentially increasing resources available for them.
Key points
Public universities and states will lose federal funding if they charge undocumented immigrants tuition rates equal to or lower than those for resident US citizens.
The law prohibits public institutions from providing state-based financial aid to individuals without lawful immigration status.
An existing Executive Order preventing federal benefits in so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" is codified, giving it the full force of law.
