"The cards are clearly stacked against children of foster care, many of whom have suffered abuse and about 90 percent of whom never even seek postsecondary education, according to a 2006 report released by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators," Inside Higher Ed reports. "The [Western Michigan University] program will cover full tuition - $6,570 - for about 40 students [who come out of foster care] starting next year. While students will still have to cover room, board and textbooks, they will qualify for state and federal aid that should position them to graduate debt free, according to WMU officials."
