This bill will ensure the accessibility of higher education to students who have spent a considerable amount of their adolescence in Rhode Island but may not have citizenship status. Not only is affordability of higher education a crucial component of educational equity, but, particularly for undocumented students, the benefit of having affordable and accessible higher education close to home cannot be overstated. Positively, this bill passed.
