The Chafee Grant Program is administered by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). The program is for foster or former foster youth to help pay for college, career, or technical training. You must be a current or former foster youth, not have reached your 26th birthday as of July 1st of the award year, and have financial need. Recipients may be eligible for up to $5,000 per academic year. To qualify, students must meet the Chafee Grant Program requirements and be enrolled in a program at least one academic year in length. Chafee Grant is federally and state-funded, and each year is subject to the availability of funds.
