Fostering Success: The New Jersey Foster Care Scholars Program

There are many barriers for foster youth in attending and graduating college. However, paying for college should not be one of them. The NJFC Scholars Program provides funding for eligible youth who experienced time in a Child Protection & Permanency (CP&P) out-of-home placement or independent living arrangement, or transitional living program, who are seeking a post-secondary degree at an accredited two-year or four-year college/university, or career/technical school. This course will guide you through the ins and outs of the NJFC Scholars Program, provide some key steps in preparing for college, and provide resources that can help you along the way.
