About this Petition Petition Letter

Colorado students are demanding that their state repeal its 2006 ban on undocumented students paying in-state tuition.

A number of more enlightened states have preserved the ability of undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. Undocumented youth should be able to pay an equal amount of money to fund their education and have access to scholarships regardless of citizenship status.

Grant Colorado students the ability to pay an equal amount for their education.

Grant Undocumented Students In-State Tuition in Colorado

Greetings,

In solidarity with the students of Eye Resist, I support their Declaration of Human Rights:

The right to education is recognized as a human right and is understood to establish an entitlement to equitable access to higher education. The University of Colorado’s Flagship 2030 decree states that it strives toward ensuring access to higher education and creating a supportive and inclusive climate for all. However, residents of Colorado do not receive instate tuition for higher education if they have undocumented status. As an ally and/or a University of Colorado student, organization, staff faculty, or administrator I support:

1) Tuition Equity that does not discriminate on citizenship status.
2) Scholarship access that is not limited to legal residents.
