This bill would remove all federal Title IV student aid funding from any state that charges undocumented immigrants in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities. That includes Pell Grants and federal student loans. The penalty applies to the whole state, not just to undocumented students.
Any state that currently allows undocumented students to pay in-state tuition would be affected. All students in those states who rely on federal financial aid could lose access to that funding.
Affected states would have to choose between ending in-state tuition for undocumented students or losing federal aid for all their students. The U.S. Secretary of Education would be responsible for determining whether a state is out of compliance.
