Memo from CalYOUTH: Colleges That Are Most Frequently Attended by Older Youth in California Foster Care

Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago
Previous CalYOUTH memos suggest that the overwhelming majority (upwards of 85%) of youth in California foster care who go to college first attend an in-state, public, 2-year college. The current memo takes a closer look at the types of colleges that foster youth enroll in, including average retention rates and the number of semesters completed at those institutions. The findings yield important insights on the types of colleges California foster youth most commonly attend and the differences between college types in student demographics and short-term outcomes.
