| Abstract: | Funded by the federal government and administered by the Bureau of Iowa College Aid, the Education and Training Voucher (ETV) program awards up to $5,000 a year to students who aged out of the state foster care system or were adopted after age 16. Students may receive money for either five academic years or until age 26, whichever occurs first. Students can use ETV for tuition/fees, room/board, books/supplies, and other personal living expenses. This report summarizes ETV program participation in Iowa from 2015-2025. The report is organized into four sections: Section one introduces the administrative datasets, documents the process of linking recipients to State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) records and defines the analytical cohort. Section two profiles the sociodemographic composition of the cohorts and benchmarks representativeness. Section three examines financial need, award levels, and duration of support. Section four presents postsecondary persistence and graduation outcomes. Together, this report provides a comprehensive view of ETV in Iowa, the financial context of participation, and recipients' educational trajectories. |
