On July 31, 2023 the Massachusetts legislature passed Tuition Equity legislation, after 20 years of advocacy.  This is a huge win for our communities! This law would give immigrant students access to an affordable college education. The law is now in effect!

LEARNING OPPORTUNITY:

On June 4th, 2025, MIRA provided a free information session on tuition equity and college access for immigrant students. You can view the Zoom recording here!
