Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act
Refreshed 5 h ago
Introduced 2026-02-10Topic: higher education · social servicesSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal education and training voucher program for youth who have been in foster care. It raises the most a youth can receive in a voucher each year from $5,000 to $12,000. It lets states set a grace period so a youth can keep receiving vouchers while not meeting program progress rules, after the state consults with the youth and finds reasonable circumstances. States must make reasonable efforts to tell eligible youth about the vouchers and must offer a simplified, standard application form that is available electronically. The changes take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
