According to Federal law, if a state offers discounted, "in-state" postsecondary tuition aid to foreign nationals illegally residing in the United States, it is prohibited from charging any out-of-state student higher out-of-state tuition rates. The state and its public institutions must offer the same aid to all legal U.S. residents regardless of residency.

However, in violation of this federal law, some states currently give tuition breaks to illegal aliens, but charge American citizens from other states higher tuition fees.

If you are an out-of-state student attending any public postsecondary school in one of those states and are paying the higher tuition rates, you may be entitled to a refund.

Please send us an email with your name, telephone number, the school you attend, the difference between out-of-state tuition fees and in-state tuition fees per unit, and the amount that you feel you've been overcharged.
