## About this scholarship

The Fostering Independence Tuition Waiver Program at Albright College is designed to assist youth who are or have been in foster care. By removing financial barriers to post-secondary education, this initiative helps eligible foster youth complete their college degrees, graduate with less debt, and build a strong support network. 

To access this tuition waiver and other forms of financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Albright College uses the FAFSA to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid programs. Pennsylvania residents may also need to coordinate with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) to secure state-specific grants. Eligible students should review the program guidelines to confirm their status and ensure all necessary forms are submitted. For application timelines and details, see the official page for current dates.
