New Mexico has passed a law that allows public university students to receive education without any tuition fees starting from July 1.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, signed the New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship Act on March 4 allocating millions of dollars in state funding toward free college education. Reportedly the most wide-reaching free-of-cost college program in the country, the Opportunity Scholarship Act has been enacted for state residents to obtain tuition-free education from qualifying in-state public universities, community colleges, or tribal colleges.
