Do they give financial aid to Americans living illegally in Mexico?
Via Campus Reform:
More than 1,600 illegal alien college students have filed for Washington State’s new financial aid form in order to fund their education.
In February, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the Real Hope Act, a law granting illegal aliens the right to apply for state financial aid for college, but it remained unclear how many would actually sign up for the program until estimates were released last week.
“We know how many students have filed the application, which is over 1,600 students to date, we don’t know how many of those students will enroll, be admitted, be awarded by the institution,” said Rachelle Sharp, the Senior Director of Student Financial Affairs at the Washington Achievement Council.
Sharp told Campus Reform that “$5 million was provided to the funding, making the program $308 million overall.”
