Arizona College Implements Student Fee to Fund Scholarships for Illegal Aliens


The push to implement the fee was led by students as part of a collaboration between undergraduate and Social Justice and Human Rights Master of Arts students, community members and faculty members. Prescott College President John Flicker couldn’t have been more proud.

Prescott College President John Flicker says, “I am proud that our students take on the role of scholar activists. Their passion around this issue really motivated our part to make up the difference between what the fee will provide for and the full cost to attend one of our programs. We’re committed to broaden access to higher education for a diverse group of students and mobilize our resources towards social justice.”

The fee will support one student this coming academic year, but the College hopes to raise additional funds to support more full tuition scholarships for additional undocumented students.

At the end of the day, what this scholarship is promoting is the presence of illegal immigrants in the country. And what programs like this create is more disadvantage for regular students who are already at a disadvantage with all of the other racially charged regulations in place. Since when did undocumented students take precedence over those who have actually worked to get where they are? This is what the American education system has become.
