The Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act aims to provide in-state tuition rates for residents of U.S. territories at public institutions receiving federal assistance. The bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure these residents are not charged more than in-state students. It defines eligibility and mandates compliance for participating institutions.
