Rhode Island (URI), Rhode Island College (RIC) and the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI). There is no per student cap on these state funds at this time. Youth and young adults interested in receiving postsecondary educational funds must complete their FAFSA and a DCYF Postsecondary Education Tuition Assistance Program application no later than June 1 st of each year. Late applications may be considered but only if funds are available after funding levels are determined for on time applicants. The eligibility criteria for each of the subprograms (DCYF Higher Education Opportunity Incentive Grant and ETV voucher) are based on state and federal laws and regulations and are clearly articulated in the application. The Department treats all funds under this program as the funding of last resort after all other non-loan funding sources (e..g., Pell Grants, scholarships) are considered and uses funds only to cover further unmet need to the extent possible based on available funds and the total number of youth participating. For youth attending the Community College of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island, DCYF in past years has been able to cover all of the further unmet need before loans using a combination of these two subprograms. However, due to rising college costs and annual increases in the number of applicants, the Department was not able to continue this practice for the 2009-10 Academic Year. The Department will be developing a mechanism to set a cap on the total funds a student can receive for subsequent academic years. For the 2008-2009 academic year, the Department provided educational funds to 107 young adults who attended 19 postsecondary educational programs. This assistance totaled $449,225 from all funds [ETV Funds - $274,607; DCYF Higher Education Funds – $174,618]. The average ETV award was $3,710 dollars and the average $3,175. Objectives for 2008-09: o Increase outreach to youth in postsecondary programs who have aged out of care to ensure that they can continue receiving financial supports for their educational program Status: More extensive outreach has been made to youth. Emails were sent to all DCYF workers three times during the year (Fall, Winter, Spring) explaining the program and encouraging staff to have eligible youth apply. Presentations were conducted with The Voice on several occasions and numerous impromptu presentations were made. Additionally a Youth Development webpage was added to the Department’s website with this information and access to the application. o Increase the role of the DCYF Higher Education Advisory Board in identifying and leveraging additional resources for youth Status: This Advisory Board has met more frequently but our focus has primarily been on improving the current system. The Advisory Board did provide input into the legislation to modify the state funded higher education assistance program for DCYF involved youth. o Develop and implement a more effective system for coordinating and disbursing higher educational funding, including ETV funds.

Status: The Department is anticipating entering into a memorandum of agreement with the RI Higher Education Assistance Authority in the next few months which will move us much closer to achieving this objective.
