Gateway Independent Living Program

Gateway Independent Living Program

The Gateway Independent Living Program serves young women aging out of the Oklahoma foster care system, who are pursuing higher education. The program focuses on education support and mentoring. 

Clients are provided assistance with the college application and financial aid application process. Clients also receive case management services, participate in life skills classes, and are matched with a mentor family. 

Applicants must be females between 18 and 26 years old, and have aged out of the Oklahoma foster care system. All clients are required to be working on a two or four year degree, or agree to begin one within six months of entering the program.  


Our goal is to empower young women who have aged out of the foster care system to complete their higher education and begin a path to self-sufficiency.
