GRANTS

John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 addressed the challenges faced by young people from foster care with programs to help them transition to adulthood. Drawing from the best practices of Pastor Kelly Green’s work with foster youth, the Hersie Lee & Iva Jean Green Grant (HLIVG) Program was designed as a federally-funded, state-administered initiative to provide funding and support for post-secondary education.

Eligibility

Eligible students may receive grants of up to $2,000 per year for up to five years or until their 26th birthday. HLIVG funds can be combined with our scholarship to minimize or eliminate the need for student loans.
