This law would let young people who were in foster care go to Texas public colleges for free. Students who were taken care of by the state would not have to pay tuition or fees at community colleges and universities. This helps kids who aged out of foster care get a college education without worrying about money.
Young adults who experienced foster care bring unique perspectives and resilience to college campuses, and this policy removes financial barriers so they can pursue their educational dreams. When former foster youth access higher education, they build pathways to career success that strengthen their communities and inspire other young people facing similar challenges.
