AZ HB2641

Requires Arizona Board of Regents and community college districts to develop five-year pilot programs providing tuition waivers for persons formerly in foster care.

Eligible recipients must reside in Arizona, be a U.S. citizen or lawfully present noncitizen, be under 23 years of age, have less than $10,000 in personal assets, and be enrolled in a degree or certificate program.

Expands eligibility to include persons currently in foster care (age 16+), persons who were in foster care at age 16+, and persons adopted from foster care after age 16.

Tuition waivers are reduced by other federal aid and public grants received, except for Arizona education and training voucher program funds.

Requires the Auditor General to report by June 30, 2017 on the pilot programs' effectiveness; if programs terminate, recipients may continue receiving waivers until age 23 or degree completion.
