The Foster Care to College Mentoring Program assists current and former foster youth, ages 16 to 21, in completing high school and GED programs and then pursuing, persisting in, and completing post-secondary education programs including four-year institutions, two-year institutions, vocational programs, certificate programs, and apprenticeship programs.
Youth are matched with community mentors who work one-on-one with them to navigate the path to their educational goals, including help with such tasks as applying to college, identifying sources of financial aid and necessary available scholarship funds.
