AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- COUNCIL ON POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION
06/18/2026 Signed by Governor
Summary
The law exempts qualifying students from non‑resident tuition at Rhode Island public colleges and universities. To qualify, a student must have attended an approved Rhode Island high school for at least three consecutive years, continue living in the state, graduate or earn a state‑issued equivalency diploma, and submit an affidavit confirming these facts and, if not a citizen, that they have applied for lawful status. The amendment also extends the same tuition treatment to non‑immigrant foreign nationals who meet the residency and high‑school attendance requirements.
