    About this scholarship

    The CHAFEE Educational Training Voucher (ETV) is a financial aid program administered by the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA). This program is specifically designed to support undergraduate and graduate students who have been in the foster care system. Eligible students can receive $5,000 per academic year to help offset the various costs associated with pursuing a postsecondary education. To access these funds, students typically need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which helps financial aid offices determine eligibility and coordinate the voucher with other state and federal aid. The voucher can be applied toward tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses at eligible colleges and universities. For specific application instructions, timelines, and to see the official page for current dates, students should consult the LOSFA website.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
