Description
This program provides financial assistance to educational programs serving children and youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk, especially those in state-operated institutions or community day programs. The funding aims to help these students meet challenging state academic standards, support their transition from institutionalization to further schooling or employment, and prevent at-risk youth from dropping out. The program also offers a support system for dropouts and those returning from correctional facilities or neglected/delinquent institutions, ensuring ongoing education and successful reintegration.
