Summary
The Foster Youth Education and Workforce Opportunity Act would increase the maximum voucher that states can give to former foster youth from $5,000 to $12,000. It lowers the age at which youth become eligible, adds support for apprenticeships, GED and remedial courses, and requires states to better inform and help youth apply. The changes aim to improve post‑secondary and job training outcomes for young people who have been in foster care.
