The Former Youth In Care Tuition Bursary covers all tuition and program fees for eligible applicants, regardless of age. Individuals who spent more than 12 months placed as a child in care in New Brunswick, including foster care, group home care, and other forms of care.
The initiative is aimed at making post-secondary education more accessible for former youth in care by waiving tuition and compulsory fees for eligible students. Beginning in September 2021, NBCC will support a minimum of 10 students annually.
NBCC has a dedicated resource to help eligible individuals access the program. Individuals with questions or those interested in participating in the program can contact NBCC at:
