The Foster Youth Education Fund (FYEF) raised over $50,000 this year in college and career training funds for foster youth. These funds go to emancipating or emancipated foster youth from the four-county area (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo). FYEF Scholarship funds are now available for foster youth candidates. Foster youth scholarship recipients can attend any program of their choice including but not limited to graduate studies, four year and two year colleges, or career technical or vocational education programs. This scholarship opportunity is also open to students currently in the four-year Guardian Scholarship Program at CSU Sacramento.

Scholarship applications are due March 8, 2010. For more information about the scholarship or if you wish to donate, go to www.fyef.org to obtain a scholarship package (under FYEF News) and watch a clip of one of the previous shows.
