Educational Opportunities
Youth that age out of foster care are in a unique position of having several scholarships available to them. Deadlines for many scholarships come early, so get started on applying right after the first of the New Year! This will ensure funding for the upcoming Fall semester.
Below are links to the four most common scholarships available to former foster youth.
