Carleton University (CU) has partnered with Child Welfare Political Action Committee (Child Welfare PAC) to launch a new tuition program tackling the challenge of equitable access to post-secondary education for current and former youth in care. The CU Youth in Extended Society Care Tuition Assistance Bursary program will help up to 20 undergraduate students—five students per year for four years. The bursary will cover tuition and compulsory fees, up to a max of $10,000, for up to four years of full-time enrolment, and $1,000 toward books and supplies for the first year.
