the College provides a return of $10 in economic

Tri-C student /alumni increased earnings contributes
$865 million annually to Cuyahoga County.

Foster Scholars Initiative
With support from Ohio Reach Tri-C will enhance support to former
foster youth or foster youth who are enrolled at Cuyahoga Community
College. The goal is to improve the retention and completion rate for
former foster youth at the collegiate level.
The Ohio Reach grant will aid in mentoring program development and
enhancing other college services to support foster scholars.

Challenges
Phone numbers and addresses can change often, making it difficult to
stay in contact with foster scholars
Like many college students, foster scholars do not always check their
college e-mail on a regular basis
Many foster scholars stop in and out of college for a variety of reasons.
This makes it difficult to provide continuity of services

Next Steps
Recruit Foster Scholars to serve on a student advisory committee

enroll in college and/or workforce training
