ll 600 undocumented immigrants need to get financial aid is Murphy’s OK

A proposal to make around 600 undocumented immigrants eligible for financial aid to attend New Jersey colleges is now one vote from reaching Gov. Phil Murphy’s desk, after being approved Monday by the state Senate.

Under a 2013 state law, undocumented immigrants who graduate from New Jersey high schools qualify for in-state tuition rates. The proposal approved 26-10 Monday would make them eligible for financial aid programs, perhaps costing the state $4.5 million a year.
