Webinar: Youth In Care Transitioning to College – Financial and Transition Support – May 5
Posted by The Field Center for Children's Policy Practice & Research on April 7, 2026
Are you working with youth in care who want to get a college degree? Then this webinar is for you! Please join us for an important encore presentation on how foster youth can get a post-secondary education tuition-free and the issues they need to consider during the critical transition period between high school and college. Learn how you can support them as they navigate the financial aid process and prepare for college. This event is great for high school youth in care, resource parents, and anyone who supports or works with foster youth.
Information will be provided on college entitlements including the PA Tuition Waiver (FosterED) and the Chafee grant for the 2026 – 2027 academic year as well as challenges students face and supports that are available before they enter college and once they are enrolled to help them be successful on their educational journeys.
Date and Time: May 5, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, 12:00-12:30 PM optional Q & A
