Children and teens in foster care across California will be able to attend state and community colleges free of charge under legislation signed into law this week.

Through the new Fostering Futures program, the state will allocate $25 million to cover tuition for foster youth attending a California State University, University of California or a community college, according to state Sen. Angelique Ashby's office.
