Emily's HACU: Resident tuition ?


Today was an extremely productive day. It was interesting to view the quantative data of Hispanics in the US graduating and pursuing higher education and goals, which makes my chest rejoice in pride. For instance, today we had the opportunity of meeting Hector Galvan, he is program manager and adviser at the University of Michigan. They have a program called SCOPE (Student Community of Progressive empowerment) where DACA students receive assistance at paying their tuition. The question is, How is it work? Due to obvious circumstances DACA students are unable to get resident tuition. However, this private program covers the difference berreen non-resident and resident tuition without getting penalized by any laws or regulations. A great example is the following, Non-resident tuition is 1,300 and resident averages 5,000. 1,300-5000=8,000 paid by this program. Allowing students to cover only 5,000 as if there were residents of the state. Is that not amazing?
