SB 18-087

Senate Bill 18-087 allows refugees and special immigrants who have settled in Colorado to qualify for in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities. This means that these groups of people will pay the same lower tuition fees as students who are residents of Colorado, rather than higher out-of-state fees. The bill aims to help these individuals integrate better into their communities by making education more accessible and affordable. Since the status is "signed," this bill has been approved by the governor and is now law in Colorado.
