Many non-citizen youth (some, but not all, lack full legal documentation) believe in the dream that getting an education is their ticket to a secure future, yet find that dream blocked when they try to go to college. RI public colleges charge these students international student rates, even though they have grown up here and graduated from local high schools. This bill would allow them to attend college at in-state rates, just like their classmates. It costs the state nothing. It doesn't displace any students who are full citizens.
