Higher Education - Tuition Exemption for Foster Care Recipients - Eligibility

Summary

The bill changes Maryland’s definition of a “foster care recipient” so that anyone who lived in state‑run out‑of‑home care from age 8 (instead of 13) qualifies for a tuition exemption at public colleges and universities. It also clarifies that younger siblings placed with the same guardians or adoptive family are covered. The exemption applies through age 25 for students pursuing a certificate, associate’s or bachelor’s degree who have applied for federal and state aid.
