Arizona voters narrowly approved a ballot measure to allow undocumented college students to pay in-state tuition, a victory for advocates who will press for broader relief for immigrants in Congress during the remaining weeks of the year.
Arizona Proposition 308 will allow noncitizen students to receive the reduced tuition rates if they attended school in Arizona for at least two years and graduated from a public school, private school or home school in the state.
The proposition repeals an earlier measure, approved in 2006, that barred noncitizens from receiving financial aid or in-state tuition rates.
