An Act relative to tuition waivers for children raised by a grandparent or other relative

This bill expands tuition and fee waiver eligibility in Massachusetts to cover children who have been placed under legal guardianship and are living with a grandparent or other relative, excluding parents. It specifically targets residents who reach age 18 or enroll in higher education while residing in these non-parental guardian households. Under the new provisions, the state government, rather than the colleges themselves, would fund these waivers after any available federal reimbursements are used up.
