S.691

In-State Tuition Equity

Introduced·3/25/25

Allows certain individuals, including those without lawful immigration status, to qualify for in-state tuition at North Carolina public universities.

The bill amends North Carolina's General Statutes to allow individuals who meet specific criteria to be charged the in-state tuition rate at constituent institutions and community colleges. These criteria include graduating from a North Carolina high school or receiving a high school equivalency diploma within the state, attending North Carolina schools for at least two years before high school completion, and, if lacking lawful immigration status, submitting an affidavit to the State Education Assistance Authority.
