Practice Kit 09, Post-Secondary Education
Revised July 2018. This practice kit developed for CCAN attorneys identifies some of the primary challenges for students exiting the neglect system and attempting to succeed in college. The kit shares helpful information for identifying appropriate educational institutions. The kit also provides detailed information about the sources of financial and other support for college- federal financial aid, DC specific programs, and scholarships. Finally, it identifies non-financial supports to help develop a full support system around the student to improve their chances for success in college.
