AN ACT
To amend chapter 173, RSMo, relating to the department of higher education by adding thereto one new section relating to the same subject.
Section A. Chapter 173, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 173.270, to read
as follows: 173.270. The coordinating board for higher education shall provide college scholarships to any former
foster child who would have qualified for a federal Pell grant because of his or her status as a foster child and has
subsequently been adopted or had a permanent legal guardian appointed after age thirteen. Such scholarship
shall be equal to the amount that such foster child would have received from the federal Pell grant program if he
or she had remained a ward of the state.
