DREAM Act proposes to allow undocumented residents to pay in-state tuition. Idaho

“Boise State students and organizations support reintroduction of the DREAM Act to the Idaho Senate. The DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act is a piece of bipartisan federal legislation that would allow undocumented residents who have lived in the United States since before they were 16 years old to pay in-state tuition at universities and colleges. As of now, undocumented students pay approximately $11,000 a year to attend BSU. This is often more than the income of undocumented residents.

Under the DREAM Act, undocumented resident minors would be allowed a six-year residency period in which they must complete one of the following: a two-year degree, two years toward a degree, two years of military service or a 910-hour period of community service.”
