| Annotation: | This publication examines how the Chafee educational
and training vouchers and other state-based
supports for higher education have been working
for young adults aging out of foster care. The National Foster Care Coalition (NFCC) has worked closely with six states to examine the implementation of the Chafee ETV
Program since its inception in 2003: California,
Maine, Montana, New York, North Carolina, and
Wyoming. These states were selected to provide
a diverse view of ETV program implementation,
including state- and county-administered child
welfare programs, urban and rural programs, and
programs serving either very large or very small
populations of youth. This publication documents
a select number of young people’s experiences with
the ETV program and also shares recommendations
from constituents and other stakeholders on how to
improve this unique and important postsecondary
education and training program. |
