Home School Student In-State Tuition Advanced
Lawmakers gave second-round approval April 6 via voice vote to a bill to make Nebraska home-school students eligible for in-state college tuition after amending a nondiscrimination provision in the original bill.
A student is considered a resident for tuition purposes if, among other requirements, they reside with their parent or guardian while attending a public or private high school in Nebraska and graduated from a public or private Nebraska high school or received a diploma of high school equivalency. Under Legislative Bill 92, sponsored by Sen. Robert Clements of Elmwood, students who completed the program of instruction offered by a home school also would be considered residents.
An amendment was adopted on select file to clarify “fairly broad” language in the original bill intended to ensure a publicly funded college or university could not discriminate against home-school students.
