Free College Tuition for Adoptees

It's not just for fosterees. Grants and tuition waivers have been made available in recent years to help foster children and those formerly in foster care handle college and training expenses, and in Texas, the bill that provides these services for fosterees includes free college tuition for some adoptees. According to a Texas Child Protective Services spokesperson, "If the child was adopted and they were special needs or hard to adopt, they receive free adoption tuition and fees for many state-supported Texas colleges and universities."In Texas, contact CPS for more information, and in other states, contact the state agency that oversees foster care and adoption - CPS, DSS, DFYS, etc. , to see if a similar program is available to adoptees.
