Bill > H1431

This bill amends Section 19 of Chapter 15A of the Massachusetts General Laws to expand tuition and fee waivers for adopted foster children in higher education. Specifically, the bill removes the phrase "state-supported" when referring to higher education institutions, which suggests that the tuition and fee waivers will now apply to a broader range of colleges and universities, not just state-supported institutions. Additionally, the bill inserts the word "full" after the word "provide", which implies that the waivers will now cover full tuition and fees, potentially offering more comprehensive financial support for adopted foster children pursuing higher education. These changes aim to increase access to higher education for individuals who have been adopted from the foster care system by removing previous limitations on the type of institutions and the extent of financial support available.
