A person not lawfully present cannot receive a postsecondary education benefit based on State residence unless U.S. citizens or nationals can receive an equally broad benefit without being residents. The rule applies to benefits provided on or after July 1, 1998.
(a) Despite other law, a person not lawfully present in the United States cannot qualify, because of residence in a State or subdivision, for a postsecondary education benefit unless a U.S. citizen or national can receive the benefit without being such a resident, in no smaller amount, for no shorter duration, and with no narrower scope.
(b) This rule applies to benefits provided on or after July 1, 1998.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.
This section shall apply to benefits provided on or after July 1, 1998.
