The grant will support the development of strategic partnerships with foster care agencies and the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) to create a graduation college success pipeline for 325 college-bound foster care youth into CUNY Start and the University’s acclaimed Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP).  In CUNY Start and ASAP, Foster Care students will receive MetroCards, on-campus internships and other supports to ensure timely graduation from college.  Along with creating a college success pipeline for youth from foster care, the lessons learned from the project’s partnerships will be incorporated into CUNY Start’s advisement curriculum and training protocol.  The grant also includes a research and evaluation agenda that will be led by CUNY’s Office of Research, Evaluation, and Program Supports (REPS).  REPS will work with key stakeholders to establish important research projects, lead focus groups, and establish benchmarks and goals for youth from foster care to succeed and graduate from CUNY.
