Does a foster child get money to go to college even after they leave the foster care?
This varies from state to state, but often no.
In Florida, if a child ages out of foster care, or is adopted after age 12, or is adopted as part of a sibling group (or some other special needs conditions) and continues their education, then their education is covered by the state: 4 years of a state university or technical school.
Age outs who are participating in the road to independence program can get a check every month to help encourage them to further their education rather than repeat their birth parents cycle.
