Description
In-state tuition rates; prohibited for certain individuals. Prohibits the board of visitors or other governing body of a public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth from authorizing in-state tuition rates for individuals who are not citizens or nationals of the United States, are unlawfully present in the United States, or do not possess a valid visa. However, a new subsection provides that, notwithstanding the provisions regarding the governing bodies' mandates, any person meeting certain conditions will be eligible for instate tuition, i.e., resided in Virginia while attending high school; graduated from a public or private high school in Virginia; resided in the Commonwealth for at least three years on the date of high school graduation; registered in an institution of higher education; provided an affidavit stating that he has filed an application to become a permanent resident of the United States and is actively pursuing such permanent residency or will do so as soon as he is eligible; and has submitted evidence that he or, in the case of a dependent student, at least one parent, guardian, or person standing in loco parentis, has filed, unless exempted by state law, Virginia income tax returns for at least three years prior to the date of enrollment.
