TAKE ACTION FOR IN-STATE TUITION IN NJ NOW — VOTE on BILL at 2:00 pm TODAY
In order of priority:
1. Call State Senators and urge them to support bill number S1036
Talking points:
- In-State Tuition is critical for immigrant youth to access higher education.
- The report recently released by the State Legislative Affairs says providing resident tuition for undocumented high school graduates will not cost the State of NJ any money.
- In-State Tuition is not a public benefit, it’s a way for immigrant youth who have been in NJ for most of their lives to pay more affordable college tuition. They will have to have attended three years of high school in NJ.
- Educating our children and young people will be beneficial for the State of NJ and everyone.

Not from NJ?: Call them anyway, especially if you are from a state with In State Tuition. Tell them how great it is to have in state tuition and therefore access to higher education. Are you from a state without in-state? Tell them how having in-state tuition in your state would help you and your community!
