Foster Care to Success Scholarships
Foster Care to Success has provided scholarships since 1991; in 2000 we restructured the program and since then have awarded over $15M to 2,000 students in all 50 states. We are proud of our graduation rate of 75%, with a persistence rate of 75% – both higher than those of the general population of college students.
