A private college in Arizona is charging students a fee to fund a scholarship for illegal immigrants, a controversial move supporters say gives a hand to those who need it but anti-illegal immigration advocates call irresponsible.

Prescott College is tacking a $30 annual fee onto its $28,000 annual tuition to establish an annual scholarship for “undocumented” students, as part of a policy first proposed by students and faculty from the undergraduate and Social Justice and Human Rights Master of Arts divisions.

Backers say it helps reverse what they call Arizona’s reputation as a “national example of discriminatory politics.”   Continue reading “Arizona college imposes mandatory fee to fund scholarship for illegal immigrants”
