Description

This is a quantitative study that focuses on youth who have aged out of foster care in a rural community and the probability that youth will enroll into a postsecondary education. In addition, this study also identifies the probability of using available funding for former foster care youth to help pay tuition in a postsecondary school. This study is conducted through a voluntary participation in an interview guide/schedule. Youth have aged out of foster care and are between ages 19-25. The findings from this study has made rural community agencies aware of the statistics so that agencies can develop a college resource packet for foster youth to increase their knowledge of available finding for them and the steps to enroll in postsecondary education.
