FCT Foundation Supports Helping Foster and Homeless Youth Achieve Act

FCT Foundation has signed on to support the Helping Foster and Homeless Youth Achieve Act.

The bipartisan legislation would improve access to educational opportunities by requiring that higher education institutions receiving federal assistance waive application fees for foster and homeless youth. “Foster and homeless youth in Nevada and across the nation face significant financial barriers to pursuing higher education,” said Senator U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
