Higher Education - Tuition Exemption for Foster Care Recipients - Eligibility

Summary

The bill changes the definition of a "foster care recipient" so that students who lived in out‑of‑home care from age 8 (instead of 13) can qualify for a tuition exemption at public colleges. It also clarifies that younger siblings placed with the same family are covered. The exemption applies if the student enrolls before age 25, pursues a vocational certificate, associate or bachelor’s degree, and files for federal and state aid.
