Texas Scorecard By Luca Cacciatore June 26, 2025
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s directive follows a June 4 ruling that illegal aliens cannot receive in-state tuition in Texas.State officials on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board have begun asking colleges and universities to identify which of their students are illegal aliens.
According to a letter penned by THECB Commissioner Wynn Rosser, students in Texas who are illegal aliens and have been paying discounted in-state tuition rates will need to start paying out-of-state tuition by the fall semester.
Colleges and universities “must assess the population of students who have established eligibility for Texas resident tuition … who are not lawfully present and will therefore need to be reclassified as non-residents and charged non-resident tuition,” wrote Rosser.
The letter provided no further guidance about how institutions should comply.
His instruction follows a June 4 injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
