Bill Title: Amends the Children and Family Services Act. Changes the class of persons who qualify for scholarships and fee waivers granted by the Department of Children and Family Services to youth (rather than children) under care, youth who aged out of care at age 18 or older, or youth (rather than children) formerly under the care who have been adopted or are in a guardianship placement (rather than subsidized guardianship program). Limits the Department's selection of scholarship recipients to students who have earned a high school diploma from an accredited institution or a certificate of general education development (GED), or who have met the State criteria for high school graduation (rather than students who have completed 4 years in an accredited high school).
