What is Prop. 308?
Prop. 308 is a legislative referral that was on the ballot for November 2022. The voters passed Prop. 308, and it became effective Dec. 5, 2022, after the election results were certified and proclaimed to be law by former Arizona Governor Ducey.
What does Prop. 308 do?
Proposition 308 makes two significant changes to Arizona law. First, with the passage of Proposition 308, a qualified noncitizen student, with exceptions defined by law, is eligible for in-state tuition at state universities and community colleges if the student has both:
1. attended an Arizona public or private high school, or two years minimum of homeschooling;
2. Graduated from an Arizona public or private high school, or homeschool equivalent, or earned an Arizona high school equivalent diploma, i.e., a general equivalent and diploma (GED).
Second, Proposition 308 repealed by A.R.S. § 15-1825, and now noncitizen students are eligible to receive financial aid funded entirely, or in part, with state money, regardless of immigration status.
