College students living in Northern Mexico might be able to pay in-state tuition. That’s the goal of one bill recently introduced by a San Diego assembly member.
SAN DIEGO — There were a handful of times when Abril Hernandez could have given up on her education.She first enrolled at Southwestern College in 2011 and moved to San Diego to get in-state tuition.Hernandez couldn't manage the rent so she left school after one semester, but she didn't give up. Hernandez re-enrolled in 2020 thanks to two part-time jobs, FAFSA, and merit scholarships.
“Other students, they have great ideas and they’re not able to get an education because they live in Tijuana.” Students who could qualify for in-state tuition under this bill would have to be U.S. citizens or Mexican citizens with a visa. The bill is working its way through the legislature and may be heard in committee this month.
