If your kid is attending Prescott College in Arizona this fall, you may want to double-check the detailed charges on your bill.
The private school is now charging every student a “non-mandatory” per-semester fee of $30 — or $60 for the year — to fund a college scholarship for an illegal immigrant. Yes, you read that right.
