This memo adds to the growing literature on the transition to college for young people in foster care, focusing specifically on issues of preparedness to enter higher education. First, the authors assess the extent to which youths' perceptions of their own educational preparedness and their child welfare workers' perceptions of their educational preparedness each predict the likelihood that youth will enroll in college. Next, the memo compares youths' perceptions and their child welfare workers' perceptions, examining youth and worker agreement about how ready the youth is to pursue their educational goals. Finally, the authors investigate the extent to which foster youth enter colleges that align with their academic proficiency, identifying cases where foster youth may have attended colleges that did and did not align with their proficiency.
