A group of Boston colleges is seeking to establish scholarship funds for undocumented immigrants now in the city's public schools. The scholarships would make up the difference between out-of-state and in-state college tuition, which the students are not eligible to receive under state law.
The colleges plan to tap private donors to fund the scholarships, estimated to be about $5,000 annually per student. The schools say they are left with no choice because a bill before the Legislature that would provide in-state tuition for qualifying undocumented immigrants is not assured of passage.
