Beyond HB 1079 & Beyond DreamingThe Beyond HB 1079 Conference was started by Royal City’s undocumented student Yuriana Garcia during her second year of college at the University of Washington Seattle. As an undocumented student at the UW, she saw that there was a need to bring awareness to the community about undocumented students. The Beyond HB 1079 Committee was form that 2012 year and in March 29rd, 2012 the 1st annual Beyond HB 1079 Conference was held at the University of Washington Seattle. In the year 2013, the 2nd annual Beyond HB 1079 Conference was held at the University of Washington Bothell on March 30th, 2013. It was also the year that the first Beyond Dreaming Scholarship List for Undocumented Students was released as a project from Seattle’s undocumented student Alejandra Pérez, from the University of Washington Bothell, as she saw the need to have a centralized list for students in Washington State to go to when seeking scholarships to fun their education. This project was made possible in 2013 with the support of the Mary Gates Leadership Scholarship. For updates, visit us at www.beyondhb1079.org.

House Bill 1079In May 7, 2003, House Bill (HB) 1079 was signed into law by Governor Gary Locke. This law allows students who have lived in Washington State for three years or more to be considered “residents” when they pay for their tuition and fees at Washington State colleges and universities. HB 1079 does not change a student’s legal citizenship status. To qualify for resident tuition, students must have:

1.Earned a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) from a Washington State high school;

2.Lived in Washington State for three years prior to receiving a high school diploma or GED;

3.Lived continually in Washington since earning the high school diploma or GED;

4.Meet the college or university admission requirements expected of all other students.

The Affidavit is a confidential statement verifying that the student qualifies to pay resident tuition, and that they will seek legal permanent residency when legally permitted to do so. If an Affidavit is not provided or available, the student should ask a trusted relative, friend, teacher, or counselor to request it from the institution they plan to attend. The Affidavit is available at following link Affidavit.
