Cotton Introduces Bill to Put Arkansas Students First
Washington, DC - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced the Put American Students First Act which would prevent noncitizens from being eligible for in-state college tuition.
"Arkansas taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing noncitizens' college tuition. My bill will put our students first by ensuring that only Americans are eligible for in-state tuition," said Senator Cotton.
Text of the bill can be found here.
The Put American Students First Act would:
- Prevent noncitizens from being eligible for in-state college tuition prices.
- Empower the Secretary of Education to withhold funding from any state that violates this provision.
