this varies a lot from state to state
just about every state is currently picking up the cost for community college after all other aide has been tapped....
locally, no, unless you want to let the child come live with you on his/her breaks out of the kindness of your heart, the child has no where...
Some states are doing a much better job. some states are actually free offereing tution to just about any in state student (West Virginia, Oklahoma) who make c average and passes college classes...
Locally kids in foster care at age 16 are put on an independent living track, they are given a lot of education on what it takes to live as an adult, how to get and keep a job, manage money, explore oppertunities, the military, etc...
in some cases, vary rare, foster parents can be paid on the weekends, breaks the kids come home, until the person is 21...this is also true for special ed kids who are in foster care and can stay in high school until they are 21....but other locaities start pushing them into adult group homes at 17 and up...
most people though, with loans and grants, should be able to attend some state school and make it through the 4 years....they sure can't eat like a king or anything....and actually in our state we get a lot of international students who the college provide year round housing to, and if the young adult comes from fostercare and lets the right school offical know, they can probably get year round housing as well...I had a girl in my dorm that did that...
