Education and Staying in Foster Care After Age 18

Extended foster care, or staying in foster care after you turn 18, is a great way to work on educational goals. You can find more information about extended foster care here. It can be very difficult to complete your education if you are working or struggling to pay for housing and living expenses. There are no financial aid programs to pay for housing for young adults who are finishing high school or completing a GED. Even with financial aid, it can be very difficult to pay for housing and living expenses while you attend college or vocational schools.
