The impact of growing up in foster care creates myriad barriers, inhibiting a youth in care's chances of attending college and finding academic success. It is estimated that, upon aging out of care, 65% of youth in care will emancipate into homelessness, less than 3% graduate from college, and 51% will be unemployed. Several major factors serve as barriers, including home mobility, school mobility, mental health concerns, social difficulties, lack of financial support, and lack of access to college. The literature has shown that the education and foster care system will need to broaden their focus to meet the educational needs of youth in care, which historically have not been met. In this narrative qualitative research study, the researcher collected data using a questionnaire and in-depth interviews with 10 former youths in care who were enrolled or graduated from college. Guided by a Resiliency Theory and strengths perspective framework, the researcher gathered data about personal experiences, barriers, supports, personal strengths, and possible solutions to help foster youth find success in higher education. Findings from the study included identified obstacles faced, supports that aided former youths in care to overcome obstacles, and recommendations for the future in order to improve the nation's educational and foster care system.
