During 2018-2019, New Jersey gave over $3.8 million dollars to illegal immigrant students and in exchange, all that was required by the students was to sign an affidavit that they would change their legal status.

Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Tuition Equality Act in May of 2018 to include students without legal status that attended three or more years of high school and either graduated or received a GED.

Over 60 percent of college graduates in New Jersey carry an average loan debt of $31,000.
