Foster Child Grant Program
Foster Child Grant Program provides grant monies for youth attending public and private post-secondary school full time in a degree granting program. Eligible youth were in the custody of DSS via a Care and Protection Petition and left care at age 18 without returning home or being adopted. Youth must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and a Statement of Eligibility to qualify.
Foster Child Tuition Waiver
The Foster Child Tuition Waiver Program provides free undergraduate tuition to foster children at any one of Massachusetts' 29 state and community colleges and universities. Approved by the Board of Higher Education in June of 2000, this initiative provides state college undergraduate or certificate tuition waivers for current and former foster children and youth under a DSS sponsored Guardianship. Youth must be between the ages of 17 and 24, have not returned home, and were in foster care as a result of a Care and Protection petition. To apply, please send a copy of your birth certificate with a letter requesting the waiver that includes your name, social security number, date of birth, mailing address, and signature to The Foster Child Tuition Waiver Program at DSS 24 Farnsworth Street, Boston, MA 02210.
