Really proud to be the author of this legislation.
Now, former foster youth in California can attend college without debt, including their housing, books, tuition and food.
This is a game changer.
All foster kids in California can now attend any state university or community college for free!
In partnership with the Legislature, we’re increasing opportunities at our universities.

Nice work. Potential for significant positive impact. Is there follow-up mental health and career planning support included as part of this plan once they hit campus?

I haven't been able to really define the qualifications. It says former foster youth also qualify; what are the restrictions? Is there an age cut-off?

So if they are attending for free then who is paying for their books? Are the colleges going to give them whatever they need? Or is this cost being passed to the taxpayer at their expense? Nothing is free. Someone has to pay that bill.
