The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board partnered with Sam Houston State University, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), and other Texas agencies to create a short video describing the eligibility criteria for the Foster Care College Tuition & Fee waiver and how it can be used in Texas. The video is called, THECB Tuition and Fee Waiver.
More information is also located at the DFPS State College Tuition Waiver webpage.
