AB 540 is a California law that allows undocumented immigrants who meet certain requirements to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. To apply for AB 540, students must submit an affidavit to their school certifying that they meet the requirements. The affidavit must include the student’s name, date of birth, and country of origin. It must also state that the student has attended a California high school for at least three years, and that they intend to become a legal resident of California.
AB 540 has been a controversial law since its passage in 2001. Some people argue that it is unfair to allow undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition, while others argue that it is necessary to provide these students with an affordable path to higher education. Regardless of the controversy, AB 540 has had a positive impact on the lives of many undocumented immigrants in California.
