Educational & Training Vouchers for Current & Foster Youth

Are you currently in or have been in foster care and need help paying for college or career school? If so, you might be interested to know that the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Program helps current and former foster care youth through the Educational and Training Vouchers (ETV) Program.


Am I eligible? The ETV Program is intended to serve 

  • youth who are likely to remain in foster care until age 18, 
  • youth who were adopted or under kinship guardianship at age 16 or older, and 
  • young adults ages 18–21 who have aged out of the foster care system.
