Phoenix -- Arizona State University is providing as many as 200 illegal aliens with scholarships this semester to help them pay for higher out-of-state tuition, according to the KVOA News 4.


The total money paid out by the college is about $1.8 million, and comes from private funds donated to the university.

Each scholarship is about $12,000. This is the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition, which Arizona illegals are required to pay because of a new law passed the the state legislature.

Some see this as a way for the college to circumvent the new law.

But, school officials claim that illegals will not take preference over legal students, but the fact that the university already granted 200 such scholarships to illegals means there are 200 less from U.S. citizens.
