Abstract	Young people with foster care history need financial support to attain their educational goals. Are these young people getting the financial support they need for college? How do their financial aid packages compare with those of their peers? To answer these questions, the authors used data from the National Center for Education Statistics, "National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, Administrative Collection: 2018, Undergraduates (NPSAS:18-AC)" (Siegel, Ramirez, and Johnson 2021) (ED629113). The authors compared postsecondary costs for students with foster care history with those of students without foster care history. They found that students with foster care history do not receive the level of support needed to cover their postsecondary education costs, despite attending lower-cost institutions.
