I'm going to be sharing it with my kiddos - especially the one that doesn't really "get" apologies, but has to make a lot of them.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490727625082003162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-75255718380420640682011-08-03T18:57:43.894-05:002011-08-03T18:57:43.894-05:00Wanted to share recent info we found:
Here's ...Wanted to share recent info we found:<br /><br />Here's the info about scholarship money for foster kids or recently aged out foster kids. You should definitely pass it along or check into it! :)<br /><br />The FCS/Casey Family Scholars application is available online at www.fc2success.org between January 1 and March 31 annually. Awards are $1500-$6000 based on a combination of things. Applicants are eligible if they were in foster care for one year at the time of their 18th birthday or high school graduation and emancipated or will emancipate from the system. They must be accepted into or enrolled in an accredited post-secondary school and working towards a degree or technical certificate. They must be under the age of 25 at the time the application closes (March 31 of the year in which they apply). Certain scholarships are offered to students who are true orphans and can provide both parents' death certificates. Some are available for adoptees and those in kinship care and under legal guardianship. Scholarships are renewable for six years or until graduation. Students must reapply every year. Please note this is a competitive scholarship as FCS receives more applications than can be funded. It's strongly suggested you go to www.statevoucher.org and click on your home state to find out about the Education and Training Voucher (ETV) Program, a federal program which can offer up to $5000 annually in tuition assistance and money for approved living expenses to students out of foster care, attending accredited post-secondary programs. Students must have applied for the program BY their 21st birthday in order to be eligible, and funding is available until the day of their 23rd birthday. If you were adopted from foster care with adoption finalization after the age of 16, you are eligible for ETV. ETV is a first-come, first-served program, so apply early! <br /><br />This is a form email that I have written for all information requests; so good luck to you or the young person/people on behalf of whom you made the inquiry and if you have further specific questions I will be happy to answer them personally. <br /><br />Mary Imler: Scholarship Program ManagerFoster Care to Success America's College Fund for Foster <br />scholarships@fc2success.org <br />571-203-0270 phonejaenkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705613696693464771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-28635842568906683592011-08-03T15:21:14.778-05:002011-08-03T15:21:14.778-05:00Thanks Tara!!
