AL Fostering Hope Scholarship

Missouri and North Carolina offer unique statewide grant programs so that their foster youth can attend public colleges free from student loan debt. In 2007, the North Carolina State Legislature, recognizing that their responsibility to the children in their foster care system extended beyond food, clothing and shelter, established a statewide education grant for foster youth and adoptees. Missouri followed suit in 2010. Both programs were designed and developed, and are now administered by Foster Care to Success based on our over 30 years’ experience supporting foster youth through higher education.
