Support Tuition Equity!

Date: Jun 14 2017, 10:30 am
Location: Main Rotunda, Pennsylvania State Capitol Building, Harrisburg PA

Help raise awareness on Tuition Equity for Undocumented students! After a brief press conference in the Rotunda, participants will be breaking into groups to speak with representatives! This is a state bill, so we encourage everyone from all over the state to contact your representative and tell them you support Tuition Equity! For more information, RSVP on Facebook.

About Tuition Equity: Undocumented students who live in the US and attended school here are sometimes labeled as “international students” during the college admissions process. This they have to pay as much as 3 times the “in-county” or “in-state” tuition rate. Not only do they have to pay more, they also do not have access to Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) or most scholarships, making higher education inaccessible to these students.
