Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB86 allows undocumented individuals who meet residency and education requirements to pay in-state tuition at public higher education.

Pennsylvania SB86 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to allow undocumented individuals who have attended a Pennsylvania secondary school for at least two years or hold a Pennsylvania high school diploma to pay in-state tuition at public institutions of higher education. The bill also requires institutions to report the number of individuals admitted under this provision and adopt policies to implement the law. Additionally, it mandates the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency to create an alternative financial aid application that does not require a Social Security number.
