Fostering Your Success
The mission of Fostering Your Success (FYS) is to provide a welcoming, supportive environment for students with experiences in foster care settings, group home settings, kinship care and emancipation. For FYS Scholars, we provide the following:
- A caring mentor for one-on-one support
- Financial Aid Information
- Guidance when building your class schedule
- Leadership opportunities
- Extracurricular activities
- Career exploration
- Help setting and achieving academic and life goals
When FYS scholars are ready to graduate, their cap and gown will be paid for by FYS, and their mentor will write a letter of recommendation for scholarships, for transferring institutions and/or future employers.
