Family Fellowship Scholarship

Our Family Fellowship Program provides financial and emotional support to college-bound foster youth who are “aging out” of the system. We look for students who are committed to their education, determined to achieve personal and professional goals, and interested in building a community with their peers. We also seek students who are interested in developing leadership skills and breaking down barriers to help foster youth navigate college and life beyond. The program seeks youth pursuing undergraduate education at a college or university and pursuing degrees in STEM-related fields.
