HR 6865 United States House · 119th Congress

American Dream Protection Act of 2025

HR 6865, the American Dream Protection Act of 2025, would condition federal higher education funding on states and public colleges complying with federal immigration law regarding tuition rates for undocumented immigrants. It prohibits public institutions from receiving federal funds if they charge undocumented immigrants tuition equal to or lower than in-state citizens, and prevents states from receiving funds if they allow such tuition rates. The bill amends existing law to withhold federal financial assistance (like grants or student aid funds) from institutions or states that provide lower tuition rates or state aid to undocumented immigrants compared to citizens. This directly affects public colleges and state education systems in jurisdictions that currently offer in-state tuition benefits to undocumented residents. The law would take effect for the fiscal year following a determination by the Secretary of Education that an institution or state is non-compliant.
