They will be notified of this requirement as a condition of admission in the event that they are admitted,

    I think that's great. $12 grand a year per student going into the university system in Arizona. That's money that's NOT going to La Raza or any other group. Does it exclude your children? Well, a case could be made that it's for ALL students who can't prove residency or are "undocumented". I believe it's illegal to discriminate based on nationality, so I think non-residents who go to ASU shoudl apply! Come on! Everyone jump in on the money bandwagon. Edited to say: I don't think it's great that illegal immigrants are attending our colleges. I think it's great that those who support illegal immigration are having to put their money where their mouth is. Given that these scholarships are for the "undocumented", I see no reason why EVERY student shouldn't apply for them and "lose" their documentation. Sure, I look and talk like I was born in Iowa - but I have no documention to show that I'm not qualified for this scholarship. They can't discriminate based on country of origin, so use our laws against them.
