The As Nearly Free As Possible Act:

• Funds 50% of Arizona public universities undergraduate resident students' tuition ​​​​​
• Locks in undergraduate tuition for four consecutive years after student's initial enrollment
• Limits tuition increases to the total cost of living

About the Campaign ​

The Arizona Students' Association is running a statewide ballot initiative in order to hold the state government accountable to the Arizona constitution which states that higher education “shall be as nearly free as possible” (Arizona Constitution, Article XI, Section VI). Since 2008, Arizona has seen historic increases in tuition, while funding has failed to keep up with inflation of the total cost of attendance. Now more than ever, Arizona students are being priced out of a higher education. The As Nearly Free As Possible act will cap tuition while investing in higher education; making our public universities more accessible and affordable for all. ​​​
