Former Foster Youth College Students & Mental Health
Transitioning out of the foster care system can come with significant difficulties in adjusting to independent living. Higher education represents a momentous challenge. Beginning college as a former foster youth can be scary and overwhelming....
If you can “graduate” from the system, you can do anything! You are an expert on change and transition. This is another one of those transitions.

RSO: Fostering Success (FS)
FS aims to foster relationships with prospective students, current students, and alumni with foster care experience as well as those who wish to support and learn more about the mission. By reaching out to under-represented, first-generation high school students we hope to encourage enrollment in college. Though limited in who may receive financial assistance based on foster care experience, guidance to any individual in need of additional support when applying to college is provided. By creating a space to discuss resources FS hopes to aid in acclimating incoming and current students to dorm life, mentoring, career opportunities, etc.
