“TALLAHASSEE — Driven by her dream of becoming a doctor, Mariana Castro won a coveted spot in the neurobiological sciences program at the University of Florida.

A native of Peru who came to the United States illegally as a child, Castro doesn’t qualiFy for in-state tuition. It doesn’t matter that she has lived in Florida since she was 10, or that she has temporary legal standing under a federal program for young immigrants. She must still pay the $28,548 in tuition and fees charged to out-of-state students, more than four times the amount charged to Florida residents.”
