Creating a Blueprint 2008 Call for Programs
Due - Friday, June 6, 2008
We invite 2-yr and 4-yr colleges and universities and post-secondary training programs who are working to improve college success for students from foster care to submit proposals. Program models, strategies, and promising practices which emphasize “how to” approaches and provide attendees with specific plans to improve college access and educational outcomes for students are given priority.
