Description/Abstract

The study aims to examine the process of enrollment and continuation of higher education for young people with foster care backgrounds. An interview survey targeting students and alumni of campus-based support programs (CSP) for students with foster care backgrounds at two universities in the US Pacific Northwest was conducted. The data indicates that secure relationships with caring adults are a significant factor for those who experienced foster care, in order to gain the financial and holistic support to be successful in higher education.
