Trivia: Through United Way BC’s Youth Futures Education Fund (YFEF), former youth-in-care receive flexible financial assistance to help them pursue post-secondary education. What expense category did students use most of their funds for?

Living Expenses

In 2024-25, 57% of funds accessed by YFEF recipients went toward living expenses, including essentials like rent, food, and phone bills. With inflation and economic uncertainty making life harder for students across BC, this support helps ensure that financial pressures aren’t a barrier to education.
