Often, immigrant students are required to pay higher tuition rates than citizen students which can have negative implications for immigrant students’ postsecondary outcomes. Hispanic non-citizens, in particular, maintain very low postsecondary enrollment rates. In 2001, Texas became the first state to legally guarantee in-state resident tuition rates to noncitizen students, substantially reducing the price of college for these students. Offering in-state resident tuition rates boosts non-citizens’ application and enrollment yields. The increased enrollment yields are especially evident at Hispanic-serving institutions. However, in this report, the authors point out that the policy does not appear to increase non-citizen students’ retention rates.application/pdfen-USCreative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalUndocumented studentsin-state tuitionstudent financial aidTexasEducation--higherDropouts--Preventioneducational attainmentReporthttps://economics.umbc.edu/files/2017/07/Texas-Research-Brief.pdf
