This Virginia program helps former foster youth get degrees, at any age

For foster kids, self-sufficiency is often an unspoken requirement for survival. But it also means that big plans, like earning a degree, can easily get derailed. That almost happened to Alexandria Davis until she applied for emergency funding through her school, Brightpoint Community College. That's when she learned about a program in Virginia specifically for students like her. The effort is called Great Expectations, and it's designed to help people who have experienced foster care get their two-year degrees. And unlike many programs for former foster youth, there are no age limits.
