Overview

RULE:

6A-10.087

Postsecondary Education Benefits and Services for Students Who Have Been or are in Foster Care or are Experiencing Homelessness

PURPOSE:

In 2022, House Bill (HB) 1577 modified section 1009.25, F.S., to specify that students who meet the federal definition of homeless children and youths are exempt from the payment of tuition and fees, including lab fees, at school district career centers, charter technical career centers, and Florida College System (FCS) institutions. Additionally, Senate Bill (SB) 7034 amended s. 1009.25, F.S., to expand the existing tuition and fee exemption to additional students. Relatedly, HB 7065 established requirements regarding the tuition and fee exemption and services for youth and students in the child welfare system. This new rule will provide guidance to assist students, parents/guardians, institutions, and other agencies in understanding available exemptions under s. 1009.25, F.S., and associated documentation requirements established under s. 409.1452, F.S. Additionally, the rule will address other components related to institutional implementation of comprehensive support structures to serve these populations.

SUBJECT:

Tuition and fee exemptions and comprehensive support structures for students experiencing homelessness and students in the child welfare system.
