## Summary

**Withhold federal Title IV college aid from states that give undocumented immigrants in‑state tuition.** This bill would make a state ineligible for federal higher education funds the year after the Secretary of Education finds the state charges aliens not lawfully present the same tuition rate as U.S. citizen residents. - States: A state that charges an alien not lawfully present the same in‑state tuition rate as citizen residents would lose federal Title IV higher education assistance for the following fiscal year. - Public institutions and students: Public colleges in an ineligible state would be affected by the loss of Title IV funding the next year, which may reduce federal support for students and campus programs. - Aliens not lawfully present: Whether a state charges these individuals in‑state tuition is the trigger for federal ineligibility under the bill. - Administration: The Secretary of Education is responsible for determining each state's ineligibility under the statute.
