DREAM ACT
PASS THE NEW YORK STATE “DREAM ACT” Dear Governor Cuomo: Congratulations on being re-elected. We were heartened by your support for the New York State Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act which would, for the first time, allow undocumented immigrant students to be eligible for state financial aid. Currently, these students are eligible for in-state public college tuition, but not financial aid. We write to urge you to include the DREAM Act in your proposed executive budget for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. New York has long recognized the importance of supporting immigrant students, including funding programs to support English Language Learners and college readiness programs. In 2001, Governor Pataki’s proposal to grant undocumented students access to in-state tuition rates was enacted with bipartisan support. Approximately 8,300 public college students are undocumented, pay in-state tuition, but are denied eligibility for state financial aid programs. Expanding the reach of TAP to include eligible undocumented students would increase the program’s expenditure by roughly 2%. It has been estimated that the overall cost of the NY DREAM Act would be less than $20 million. Our organizations agree with you that it is simply unfair to these students, as well as undermining the future success of the state, to deny them eligibility for financial aid. You can take a major step forward in ending this unfairness by including the DREAM Act in your proposed executive budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Thank you again for your support, we look forward to supporting your Administration’s advocacy on behalf of the DREAM Act.
