Student Financial Wellness of Youth Formerly in Foster Care. Spotlight Report Brief
Niznik, Aaron; Fletcher, Carla; Barone, Sandra
Trellis Company
Youth formerly in foster care (YFFC) are more likely to report facing financial struggles while in college and may lack resources, marketable skills, and have limited networks/ support to rely on. These students may not have access to the same kind of family support as their peers. To address these challenges, this population relies more heavily on their institutions and government assistance. Additionally, while federal, state and institutional programs exist to provide aid to these students, many respondents in this sample were unaware of these supports. As a result, institutions must find ways to connect these students to the resources needed to ensure postsecondary success.
