This just makes sense. Probably a lot of history to show that foster kids go downhill once they age out. Giving them a path, via paid for college, to transition into stable adulthood should help a lot.
I support access to free college for everyone. Until we can get there, this is a good step.
This could encourage people to foster too. One concern folks might have is they could afford to care for them but not help them with things like this.
