Washington became the fifth U.S. state to offer college financial aid to students brought into the country illegally as children, as Democratic Governor Jay Inslee signed legislation on Wednesday to make them eligible for state grants. …
While U.S. citizens must live in the state one year before qualifying, undocumented immigrant students will need to have attended at least three years of high school in the state and have earned a high school diploma or equivalent in the state.
In all cases, a qualifying student’s family income must be below $57,500, or 70 percent of the state’s median family income. Washington state has granted in-state tuition to otherwise qualified undocumented immigrants since 2003.
