'Closing the gap': Bill aims to make college debt-free for foster youth in California
KCRA 3 Sacramento - A new bill going through the state Legislature would cover the cost of college for foster youth in California. Senate Bill 307 would guarantee that those who were part of the foster care system in California would be able to go to college debt-free at institutions within the California State University, University of California and community college systems. Tuition, housing, food and books would all be covered under the proposal. State Sen. Angelique Ashby, D-Sacramento, introduced SB 307, and she said it would be life-changing for foster youth across the state.
