Allow DACA students to be eligible for In-State Tuition.
Many of us have lived in South Carolina for more than 10 years and are being forced to pay Out-of-State Tuition for college while also being denied any type of Federal Scholarships, Grants and Student Loans.
Why is this important?
DACA students, otherwise known as Undocumented Students with a Legal Presence, are students that were brought to the United States of America for a better life at a young age. In June of 2012, we finally got the opportunity to legally attend college by receiving DACA. That was the first and most important step, but now almost HALF A MILLION of us are not financially stable to be able to afford those out of pocket costs. Many of us are hard-working taxpayers who are just not able to afford an education. Paying Out-of-State Tuition without ANY government help is very difficult for anyone, American Citizen or NOT. Help us bring In-State Tuition for DACA students!
