Group Urges Expanded Tuition Aid

Georgia and three other states' laws against college tuition aid for illegal immigrants has prompted support for the idea. The College Board, made up of 5,000 schools and best known for its SAT college admission tests, released a report today. It cites a need for federal legislation that would open up in-state college tuition, financial aid and legal status to many illegal immigrants in the U.S. At least four states - Georgia, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona - prohibit illegal immigrants from paying in-state tuition rates.
