Nonprofit Foster Success Education Services is now managing the Education and Training Voucher (ETV) program for Arizona. The organization plans to hire three staff members in the state to oversee the program.
The ETV program is a federally-funded, state-administered program that provides academic, financial and human support for young adults currently in foster care and those who have left the foster care system, and who are enrolled in qualified colleges, universities or vocational education programs.
“We are thrilled to help young adults with lived foster care experience in Arizona work toward a more successful future,” Foster Success Education Services Board President Daniel Larner said. “Education and skills training are truly the keys to success and we’re proud to administer the ETV program in Arizona.”
Foster Success Education Services responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP) from the State and successfully secured the contract to oversee Arizona’s $1.3 million ETV program.
“Foster Success Education Services has a wealth of experience and expertise in supporting young adults transitioning from foster care to adulthood, and in administering the Education and Training Voucher program in Indiana,” said Beverlee Kroll with the Arizona Department of Child Safety. “Arizona looks forward to working with Foster Success Education Services to support our young adults as they continue their educational journeys.”
