An act relating to assistance for room and board at a Vermont postsecondary school for students served by foster or kinship care
H 15 provides financial assistance for room and board expenses at Vermont's residential postsecondary schools to eligible young adults who were in foster care or under kinship care. It directly affects youth who were under the Commissioner for Children and Families' custody for at least six months between ages 16-18, or who had kinship care guardianship with kinship assistance during that period. The bill funds specific room and board costs for these students pursuing higher education in Vermont, without covering tuition or other expenses.
