Put American Students First: Ending In-State Tuition for Non-Permanent Residents.
This act aims to ensure that only individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence can receive lower in-State tuition rates at public colleges and universities. It seeks to prevent U.S. taxpayers from subsidizing the education of those without permanent resident status, promoting fairness for citizens and legal residents.
Key points
Individuals not lawfully admitted for permanent residence will no longer qualify for in-State tuition or other state-funded education benefits at public institutions.
Public colleges must verify students' immigration status annually to ensure only eligible individuals receive discounted rates.
States that fail to comply with these rules may lose access to certain federal education grants.
Institutions will be required to seek reimbursement from students who improperly received in-State tuition, plus interest.
