Guardian Scholars

Guardian Scholars, supports current and former foster youth students in the form of counseling, application assistance, resources, and multicultural programs that offer a supportive space where students can thrive and be academically successful. We offer one-on-one academic, personal, and career counseling, as well as guidance, resources and referrals to services on and off campus.

*Students must have been in foster care between the ages of 13-18, at least one day, up until age 25.
