This is what affirmative action should be... helping people out based on their individual situation, not because their skin color or gender.

I do not understand why it should be limited to foster kids.

Just make the schools free for all, and collect with higher marginal income / wealth taxes.

It should not be dependent on parents’ status either. I got zero aid due to my parents, but I also got zero from my parents.
