Guardian Scholars Program

Supporting Guardian Scholars as They Build Their Futures 

This program supports students who have experienced foster care, are unaccompanied minors, or were wards of the court — students who bring resilience, determination, and a strong commitment to achieving their educational goals.

Through comprehensive, individualized support, students receive more than traditional services. Case management, priority housing, mentoring, and emergency assistance create a stable foundation that allows scholars to focus on learning, persistence, and completing their degrees with confidence.

How Your Support Makes an Impact

Program Support sustains the services and resources that form the foundation of the Guardian Scholars Program, including advising, mentoring, emergency assistance, and basic needs support that help students remain enrolled and on track to graduate.

Student Scholarships provide direct financial assistance to Guardian Scholars, helping cover critical costs such as textbooks, housing deposits, medical expenses, graduation fees, and other essential needs that can otherwise derail student progress.

Together, these investments help ensure students have both the resources and the stability needed to thrive academically and personally.
