Bill > HB920

This bill would provide that students, including those who are undocumented for federal immigration purposes, shall be eligible for waivers of out-of-state tuition and fees at postsecondary educational institutions in Georgia, subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the student must have attended a Georgia secondary school for three consecutive years before graduating, applied for enrollment in a Georgia postsecondary institution within 24 months of high school graduation, and submitted an official transcript verifying their Georgia high school attendance and graduation. The tuition and fees charged to such students would not exceed those charged to resident students, and the waiver would be applicable for up to 110% of the required credit hours for the student's degree or certificate program. The bill also requires the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia to report on the number and value of the fee waivers granted under this provision.
