鈥淟ooking for funding opportunities like the Foster Youth College Success Initiative is just another way that we work on behalf of our students, many of whom are also raising a family and working to make ends meet, to help them mitigate tuition costs and other related college expenses,鈥� said Kathleen Saunders, vice president of enrollment and student affairs, 91快播. 鈥淏y lessening the financial burden, students are able to focus more on their academics to successfully complete their chosen program and begin on their new career path.鈥�

The FYCSI program was established to provide college-related funding such as tuition and housing, specifically for students who have spent time in foster care at any time after their 13^th birthday or who are eligible orphans. Recipients must meet all eligibility requirements, which include enrollment in a New York State college or university that also has a Higher Education Opportunities Program (HEOP) and meet the federal Higher Education Act definition of a foster youth or orphan.

In August 2022, Trocaire students who indicated on their financial aid forms that they might have been in foster care were notified and asked to submit a consent form to determine eligibility for the FYCSI grant. Ten Trocaire students were determined to be eligible for the grant with the average age of the recipients being 34. These students are pursuing degrees in nursing and certificates in practical nursing, with three graduating during the 2022-2023 academic year.

Rachel Rose 鈥�24, is currently enrolled in Trocaire鈥檚 registered nursing program. 鈥淚鈥檝e always wanted to be a nurse and have dedicated myself to pursuing that career, but not working a full-time job to allow time for classes and studying has an impact,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 never thought anything positive would come from being in foster care, but receiving this funding has helped in both taking care of my daughter and her schooling and paying for my own studies.鈥�

Trocaire鈥檚 HEOP office is reaching out to potential recipients for the 2023-24 academic year to submit a consent form for review by September 2023.

鈥淭he soft phase of our endowment has been a huge success and we are confident that we will meet our $3 million goal by the end of the year based on commitments and our ongoing solicitation of donors,鈥� said Bassam Deeb, Ph.D., president, 91快播.  鈥淥ur students are not only attending college, but most are also working to make ends meet and many are raising a family so it鈥檚 imperative that we do our part in fulfilling our mission as an opportunity college to help mitigate their tuition costs.鈥�

On average, a Trocaire student faces a gap in funding of about $5,500, which can be an insurmountable obstacle when also paying for rent, childcare, transportation, and food.

鈥淥ur students seek the opportunity at Trocaire to improve their circumstances through careers of achievement and lives of purpose, filling local jobs in healthcare, business and technology,鈥� Deeb continued.  鈥淚f they have the financial means to graduate they will have a good paying and family sustaining career opportunity waiting for them. We have a responsibility to make sure that happens.鈥�
