A bipartisan bill introduced in the Ohio General Assembly seeks to establish a pipeline from foster care to college or careers.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.The sponsors of House Bill 25 are targeting a population of Ohio ans who struggle to get through high school, and therefore may not have the guidance needed to lead them to a fruitful career in the state after leaving the foster care system.
25 would create a scholarship program for Ohioans who are in foster care after their 13th birthday, funding tuition, fees or other education expenses outside of federal or state financial aid, according to Jarrells.When word got out that Jarrells was reintroducing the bill, state Rep. Sharon Ray, R-Wadsworth, said she quickly reached out to become a co-sponsor, hoping to help the state and the “strong” foster care system she has in her district.
