LOOKING FOR INFORMATION REGARDING WITH COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR ADOPTEES. SOMEONE TOLD ME PRESIDENT CLINTON PUT A BILL INTO EFFECT TO PAY FOR COLLEGE....ANY INFO WILL BE HELPFUL
State Colleges are required to recruit you and pay tuition. Regardless of your GPA in High School.
Sorry I am a little slow this morning :) What exactly does that mean?
Thanks
Pat

As far as I know, there is no national law or program for this.
I have heard of a few states that offer paid college education to children who were in that state's foster care system and never adopted. (Ex: A child in Florida's foster care system who stayed a foster child until high school graduation could go to a state school in Florida tuition-free. At least I've heard Florida is one of those states...) But all the ones I've heard about still require the students to meet regular admission guidelines.
I also have heard of one or two that "sometimes" offer paid college education to children who were in that state's foster care system and later adopted, but that's rarer.
But I have never heard of any federal or state program that paid a "traditional" adoptee's college expenses. There are, of course, some scholarships out there, but that's not exactly what the poster was asking.
