Book excerpt: For many low-income and disadvantaged students formerly in foster care, community colleges are the main post-secondary educational pathway to socioeconomic opportunities. However, students formerly in foster care face many barriers in accessing college as well as actually succeeding in achieving a college degree. Although considerable efforts have been made to expand opportunities for foster youth to earn college degrees, low educational achievement and attainment continue to characterize this population.
