Abstract	The Postsecondary Pathways for Former Foster Care Youth (PP-FFCY) study is a research project that focuses on the transitions of foster care alumni to and through postsecondary institutions. Through the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL), the PP-FFCY project team is conducting a comprehensive needs assessment report that: (1) provides a descriptive profile of Illinois foster care alumni; (2) examines postsecondary access, opportunities, and supports for Illinois foster youth; and (3) addresses disparities in career and technical education (CTE) programs. This research brief provides an overview of programs and services that helps strengthen postsecondary pathways for current and former foster youth in Illinois. The report outlines a comprehensive review of the general and foster youth demographic profiles in Illinois, followed by an overview of various forms of student aid (e.g., national-, state-, and campus-level aid) available for foster care alumni, as well as a synopsis of the CTE program in Illinois.
