The Youth in Foster Care Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the Orphan Foundation of America (OFA), a nonprofit organization that provides support and resources to children and youth in foster care. The scholarship is open to current or former foster youth who are under the age of 25 and are pursuing a post-secondary education or vocational training program. Applicants must have been in foster care for at least one year at the age of 13 or older, and must be currently in foster care or have been adopted or aged out of foster care.
The scholarship provides financial assistance to help cover the cost of tuition, fees, and books, as well as other educational expenses. Scholarship recipients also receive access to support services, such as mentoring and career guidance, to help them succeed in their education and career goals.
