Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act increases education voucher amounts and support for foster youth in postsecondary.
The Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act amends the Social Security Act to increase the maximum education and training voucher amount from $5,000 to $12,000 for foster youth pursuing postsecondary education. It also mandates the development of a simplified, user-tested, and standard form for voucher applications, accessible electronically. The bill requires states to make reasonable efforts to inform eligible youth about the benefits of these vouchers and to coordinate with other programs to enhance awareness.
