US EditionStudents without legal status are dropping out or delaying college as states revoke tuition breaks
- Florida legislators ended a 2014 policy that allowed undocumented residents to qualify for in-state tuition, with the change taking effect on July 1, 2023.
- This revocation follows an immigration crackdown led by President Trump and allies, including legal challenges claiming tuition benefits are unconstitutional.
- More than 6,500 students were eligible for the tuition reduction typically offered to nonresidents during the 2023-24 academic year, but Florida’s colleges do not monitor enrollment numbers for undocumented students.
- Carlie chose online schooling because she fears deportation and unsafe conditions while trying to get her life back on track, and teacher Rosie Curts said loss of college access demotivates educators.
- Advocates expect many students without legal status to delay or give up college, indicating significant impacts on educational opportunities and motivation in affected communities.
