Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act
Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Summary
The bill amends the Higher Education Act so that any public university or college that participates in federal student‑aid programs must offer the same tuition rate to eligible students from Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands as it does to residents of the state where the school is located. It applies only to students who are U.S. nationals. The change aims to make higher‑education costs more affordable for students from these territories.
