SCS/SB 276 - The act provides that any foster child who is a
resident of Missouri, is accepted for admission at a state-funded
college or university and needs financial assistance must first
apply for tuition assistance. After the foster child receives
that assistance, the child will be given first consideration for
the Missouri College Guarantee Fund which provides financial
assistance for higher education to qualifying applicants.
