EDUCATION & SCHOLARSHIPS
Education Changes What Comes Next.
This section is being built for two people at once: a current or former foster youth looking for help paying for school or training, and a community member who wants to create an educational opportunity for someone else.
HELP FOSTER YOUTH · SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships Exclusively for Foster Youth
More than 250 scholarships created only for current and former foster youth — for high school, college and trade school, searchable by state.

Every scholarship is run by its own sponsor, not by Help Foster Youth, and listing one is not a recommendation. Always confirm your eligibility directly with the sponsor before you apply.
