Campus Programming Directory for Foster Youth Greater Philadelphia Area Colleges & Universities

Introduction The information in this directory was gathered by the Field Center for Children’s Policy, Practice & Research to determine what campus supports exist for current and former foster youth pursing higher education in the greater Philadelphia region. Between April 2015 and April 2016, campus administrators, deans, program directors and other key leaders at Philadelphia-area colleges and universities were interviewed by telephone. Of the 39 institutions identified, 33 participated in the Field Center’s survey on campus-based programming. Supplemental information for each institution and those that did not participate in the survey was obtained from school websites. At the time of publication, no Philadelphia-area institutions of higher education were identified as providing targeted or specific programming to support foster youth. However, a number of both formal and informal supports were identified through conversations with campus personnel. Many formal programs exist to support specific populations that may include foster youth, such as first-generation college students, minority students, low-income students, or students meeting other academic criteria. Informal supports, such as emergency financial assistance or housing counseling may be available by talking with various departments at the institution. How to Use This Guide The Field Center’s Campus Programming Directory for Foster Youth provides information on institutional supports and programs that can assist current and former foster youth in higher education. This directory is intended to supplement existing college directories and information publicly available on the internet. The schools included in this guide are not an exhaustive list of higher education options available. Used alongside traditional college-search information, this directory will inform foster youth seeking to pursue higher education in the Philadelphia area about beneficial campus programs and services.
