Higher Education

With resources and support, students with experience in foster care are more likely to access and succeed in higher education. Through various initiatives in the Field Center’s “Foster Care to College” portfolio, we aim to improve educational outcomes for young people who have experienced out of home placement. Our experts conduct groundbreaking research, convene stakeholders, advocate for policy change, and provide consultation, trainings, and technical assistance.
