- Title
Lost and Found in Transition: Alumni of Foster Care Transitioning to College.
- Authors
Jones, Sarah E.; Dean, Laura A.
- Abstract
This research emphasizes the educational transitions of students -who experienced foster care (SEFC). Using student development theories from Tinto and Schlossberg this phenomenological research captured themes that described the lived experiences of college SEFC. Despite disconnections, feelings of inadequacy, and experiences of imposter syndrome, most participants were able to navigate their life and educational experiences with a strong sense of self-efficacy and self-love that they believe allowed them to be successful in college.
