Bill > S1792

This bill, the Fostering Success in Higher Education Act of 2017, aims to improve higher education opportunities for foster youth and homeless youth. It establishes a grant program that provides formula grants to states to support a statewide transition initiative and competitive subgrants to eligible institutions of higher education. The statewide initiative focuses on outreach, support, and preparation for foster and homeless youth to enroll in higher education. The subgrants enable eligible colleges and universities to provide various support services, such as financial assistance, campus programs, and dedicated staff, to foster and homeless students. The bill also requires states to report on their activities and progress, and the Department of Education to evaluate and report on the grant program.
