Arizona voters this November will decide whether to allow students regardless of their immigration status to obtain financial aid and cheaper in-state tuition at state universities and community colleges.
At least 18 states and the District of Columbia already offer in-state tuition to qualifying students regardless of status.
There has been little past voter support in Arizona for allowing students who entered the U.S. without authorization to get in-state tuition, which is about a third of the out-of-state rate.
Arizona's state legislature referred Proposition 308 to the ballot. It would repeal parts of a 2006 initiative that voters approved to block in-state tuition to noncitizens.
