Chafee Grant for Foster Youth Social Media Toolkit

Post

If you are or were in foster care for at least one day, between the ages of 16 and 18 as a dependent or ward of the court and have financial need, you may qualify for up to $5,000 a year for career and technical training or college. You don’t have to pay this money back. You may also be able to use your grant to help pay for childcare, transportation and rent while you’re in school. You can use your Chafee Grant at any eligible California college or university or career or technical school, as well as schools in other states. This social media toolkit was designed to engage CSAC partners like you in helping spread this valuable information with your communities!
