���ӽ紫ý Fostering Scholars

The ���ӽ紫ý Fostering Scholars Program is a campus-based support network with dedicated services to support individuals who have experienced foster care. The program recognizes that the population of students it supports is often navigating their transition from foster care to independence while transitioning to ���ӽ紫ý.

• Personalized Success Coaching with one-on-one guidance and support for academic, career, and personal needs
• Textbook Assistance for students with demonstrated financial need
• Workshops & Community Events focused on connection, academic success, and access to campus resources
• Access to ���ӽ紫ý Basic Needs Program for essential items like food, hygiene products, and school supplies without standard limit restrictions
• Emergency Financial Assistance for unexpected or urgent situations
• Involvement Scholarship (up to $500/semester) for meeting additional program requirements
