We’re dedicated to helping you navigate the benefits available to you in your transition into adulthood. These benefits are designed to support you in your journey toward independence, but it’s essential to be intentional and proactive in utilizing them within the timeframe they’re available.

The benefits are typically available until you turn 26, giving you approximately five years to take full advantage of them. We recognize that it’s easier said than done.

Our Community Feedback

From valued individuals to dedicated supporters, our community voices share their stories and affirmations, highlighting the impactful difference we make.

My recent experience with the tuition waiver for foster care was both eye-opening and gratifying. I first heard about the waiver from my case worker, Crystal, but was initially unsure of its impact on my education. After investing time in researching and seeking information, the confirmed eligibility significantly eased my financial burden, allowing me to focus on my studies without tuition worries. This relief has been empowering and reinforced my belief in supportive resources for foster youth. Overall, the waiver stands as a testament to the commitment to helping us achieve our academic goals.

Arquandre C.

I recently had the pleasure of using UrFuture , and I am beyond grateful for the resources it provides! UrFuture provided our organization with a grant opportunity that was perfectly aligned with our organization’s needs. After applying, we were thrilled to be awarded the grant, which will make a significant impact on our ability to support youth aging out of foster care.

Shavon, CEO of Saint House

This platform truly changed my life. I was struggling to find direction, but after discovering the opportunities here, I landed an internship that set me on the right track

Joseph Martin

I was lost and didn’t know where to start with my career. UR future guided me to incredible opportunities I didn’t even know existed. Thanks to Crystal and her team, I found a path that fits me perfectly.
