Last year, when Proposition 300 went into effect and undocumented students were barred from getting in-state tuition rates at Arizona universities, Arizona State University did a brave thing: It enlisted private donors to do what taxpayers would not.
If students graduated from an Arizona high school but couldn’t prove they were in this country legally, ASU awarded them a privately funded $12,000 grant called the “Sunburst Scholarship.” The goal was to bridge the gap between in-state and out-of-state tuition — and keep a few hundred kids from dropping out of school.”*
