B.C to lift age limit for free tuition for those who lived in foster care

Anyone who has been in foster care in B.C. and is at least 19 years old, will soon be eligible for a post-secondary tuition waiver.
The B.C. government says the 2017 program that waives tuition fees for foster care recipients aged 19 to 26 will be expanded next August to remove the upper age cap.
To be eligible, students must be undergraduates studying full or part time at a B-C public, post-secondary institution, the Native Education College or with one of 10 approved trades-training providers.
Just under 2000 people have had tuition fees waived since the program launched six years ago, and another 1200 students are expected to take advantage of the expanded initiative.
