WHAT IS NEXTUP?

Sometimes the hardest part about getting your college education is steering your way around all the bumps in the road. Most students will face challenges throughout this journey. That’s where NextUp comes in. 

NextUp provides community college students like you with resources that make a difference. The program offers eligible current and former foster youth support and services that could include help with books and supplies, transportation, tutoring, food and emergency housing. 

 You’re committed to the goal of achieving a college education, and we are committed to helping you get it. Your part is to: 

1.Work hard to create the future you want. 

2. Focus on the steps outlined in your education plan. 

3. Meet with a counselor several times each semester to make the most of your college experience. 

  1. Complete the NextUp Application (Microsoft Form). 
    •​ Upload foster care verification documents (or apply without them—our team can help you get them).  
  2. Review and agree to the Mutual Responsibility Agreement (sent after application review).  
  3. Meet with an academic counselor to create an education plan with a goal of enrolling in 9 units.  ​
