Last fall, First Church Immigration Task Force members delivered tuition checks to three Maricopa Community Colleges on behalf of Dreamers attending five different Phoenix Union high schools. These checks covered the costs of dual credit classes for a unique group of PUHSD students — Dreamers — who came to Arizona as young children with their undocumented parents. Last year, we supported 15 students; it is our hope that we are able to do the same this year.

And we are also hopeful that this is the last school year Dreamers will be required to pay out-of-state tuition in Arizona.
