WMDT – June 10, 2021
More financial aid for Youth Aging out the foster care system, that’s the mission behind Delaware’s House Bill 123 if passed. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for them to say we want a chance to offer stability in education, that ultimate equalizer, for you to have a chance to build a foundation of independence,” Representative Bryan Shupe said. The legislation, introduced Tuesday, would ensure those aging out of the foster care system at 18 or later or who’ve spent at least one year in foster care as a teen, there’s access to a college education, by waiving tuition and fees- including room and board.
