California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law to allow low-income Mexican residents living close to the Mexico-U.S. border to attend community colleges at in-state tuition rates, CBS News reports. The pilot program, scheduled to run until 2029, intends to increase access to education and equip residents for employment. By 2028, community college boards are required by law to provide lawmakers with a report that includes information on the attendance rate and demographics of students who qualified for in-state tuition rates under the program.
