Dear Colleagues,

 

 

Enclosed please find a flyer for the 9^th Annual College Admissions and Information Fair that will be hosted by the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families Education and Training Voucher Program. The College Fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.   on Thursday, April 23^rd, 2015 at the Holiday Inn, 265 Lakeside Avenue, Marlboro, MA 01752. Free parking is available.

 

The DCF College Fair is an opportunity for high school aged DCF youth to learn about the various degree and certificate programs available through the public and private college higher education system. Students, foster parents, social workers, and providers will be able to speak with admissions staff about exciting activities and resources offered through community colleges, vocational training programs, four-year public/private universities and the University of Massachusetts.

 

These degree and certificate programs provide vital education and training to foster youth.  The event will allow younger foster youth to begin thinking about college and older youth to explore concrete opportunities available to them now.

 

Last year’s event had a tremendous turnout of students, foster parents and various social service agencies.  Numerous Massachusetts public and private colleges and universities were represented last year, as well as the Massachusetts Education Financing Authority. 

 

Please distribute the attached flyers throughout your programs and make arrangements for your DCF students that you feel would benefit to attend.  Please feel free to distribute the flyer to other providers, foster parents and community members that work with foster youth.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your assistance with helping DCF

foster youth achieve their post-secondary educational and vocational goals.
