Guarantees in-state tuition rates for residents of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure that public institutions of higher education receiving assistance under the Act do not charge higher tuition rates to residents of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the United States Virgin Islands. These residents, termed "covered individuals," must be U.S. nationals. The bill aims to provide equitable access to higher education by aligning tuition costs with those of state residents.
