Should undocumented immigrant students get state financial aid?
Yes. Students who are Connecticut residents should be eligible for need-based aid whether they are legal citizens or were brought here as children by parents seeking the American Dream.
No. That’s not fair to the legal citizens who underwrite state colleges and universities through taxes and tuition payments.
Yes. All Connecticut residents, legal or not, can now get in-state tuition. But many undocumented students still face the barrier of affordability. They ought to be given the same opportunity as all other Connecticut residents, including state financial aid.
No. Washington state expanded financial aid to undocumented students this year, even though state grants were already insufficient to meet the great need. Can Connecticut afford this?
