California bill would allow Mexican students near border to pay in-state community college tuition
Fox News
A new bill introduced in California would allow some low-income Mexico students to be exempted from nonresident tuition fees when attending community colleges.
It would place a limit of 10% of students per San Diego and Imperial Counties Community Colleges Association (SDICCCA) college to be exempt from the nonresident tuition fee each academic year. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"We live in a dynamic border region where we need to educate more students to fill the jobs required for growth" Alvarez said in a statement. "This bill will allow low-income residents who live close to the border to attend local community colleges." He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
