Education
Currently, the state of Pennsylvania allows for undocumented students to access higher education but at an out of state student or international student tuition rate. The state does not allow undocumented students or DACA students to pay the in-state tuition rate. There are some universities and colleges that charge undocumented or DACA students the in-state tuition rate.
