Drawing on qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews with 11 academically successful Black male college students formerly in foster care, the purpose of this study was to explore and identify protective factors that have contributed to their academic resilience. More specifically, this study sought to identify the environmental resources and supports that have helped mitigate against school failure and enabled educational success. The two major findings relate to the role and importance of having an extensive support network and the significance of participating in independent living programs, which served as protective factors for participants in this study. This article presents implications for school counseling practice.

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how foster care support program staff describe best practices to improve the financial, emotional, and academic experiences for foster care youth who matriculated into community colleges. For this study, the theoretical framework was ecological system by Urie Bronfenbrenner. This theory was used as a lens to understand how these support programs impacted foster youth students' ability to stay in school to complete their degree and how support services impact their academic success by removing barriers financially, emotionally, and academically. The research questions that guided the study were: How do foster care support program staff describe best practices in financial interventions that support retention and success of foster care youth students who have matriculated into community colleges? How do foster care support program staff describe best practices in emotional interventions that support the retention and success of foster care youth students who have matriculated into community colleges? And, how do foster care support program staff describe best practices in academic interventions that support retention and success of foster care youth students who have matriculated into community colleges? The sample for this study was foster youth support staff who worked in California community colleges.
