Scholarships available for students in foster care

The Michigan Department of Treasury reminds young adults who have experienced foster care on or after their 13th birthday that they are eligible to apply for a scholarship from the Fostering Futures Scholarship Trust Fund.

The application period for academic year 2021-22 will stay open until June 30. Eligible students enrolled at a Michigan degree-granting college or university may apply to receive scholarship funds for tuition, fees, room, board, books and supplies.

Since 2012, fundraising efforts have totaled more than $1.3 million. This money has been raised through individual donations, group donations, sponsorships, ticket sales, auctions and many volunteer-based fundraising events.
