Tucson College May Grant In-State Tuition to DACA Recipients


On February 27th, Pima Community College in Tucson, AZ, will decide whether or not to provide in-state tuition to students who receive work permits through the recent Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.  This policy will tremendously improve access to higher education for all students, regardless of their immigration status.  If passed, PCC will follow in the footsteps of Maricopa County Community College District, which granted in-state tuition to DACA recipients starting this semester. 

Check out MCCCD's decision.

Why do we believe ALL institutions (community colleges and universities) should support this? 
Here are some important reasons
