5. Youth in #fostercare have heard a lot of "you can't". Be the person who says "YOU CAN". FAFSA can help them meet their goals! #FAFSAchat

[Success in Degrees @successindegree]

4. Help youth in #fostercare confirm a safe, permanent address. This is a HUGE barrier to success. You might have to get creative #FAFSAchat

[Success in Degrees @successindegree]

3. Help youth in #fostercare get used 2 email. How to set-up & free places 2 check it (school computers, public libraries, etc.) #FAFSAchat

[Success in Degrees @successindegree]

2. Youth in #fostercare don't have consistent access 2 computers & can't rely on online processes. Don't be afraid of paper forms #FAFSAchat

[Success in Degrees @successindegree]

1. Help with document collection: social security card (to confirm legal name) & foster care verification letter.
