Foster Student Resources

Less than 10% of foster youth graduate from college, we want you to be one of them. A credential from us can put you on the right path to a high-paying, high-demand job. Our programs feature hands-on learning, apprenticeships, and advanced technology.

For current foster youth or those that have aged out, we can offer:

  • Free tuition.
  • An advisor that’s with you every step of the way.
  • Earn and learn opportunities.
  • Housing and transportation assistance.
