SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships for Foster Youth and Non-Traditional Students.
College is for you too, whatever your path here has looked like.
If you grew up in foster care, are raising kids or are returning to school later, there are scholarships for foster youth and non traditional students made for you.
Every path to college is valid. Scholarships for foster youth and non traditional students exist because talent and drive do not follow one straight line. Whether you are aging out of foster care, parenting or coming back to school, you deserve funding and support.
What scholarships help foster youth and non-traditional students?
Many programs focus on students the usual path leaves out. Scholarships for foster youth, single parents and adult learners provide college scholarships plus support. In Virginia, the Virginia Foundation for Community College Education helps foster youth and single parents specifically.
