Fewer than 3 percent of foster youth graduate college. You can help combat this statistic with a gift to the Bridging Success Emergency Fund within the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions. Your investment will help foster youth navigate higher education by providing assistance with FAFSA and college applications, financial support beyond federal and state tuition programs, ongoing personal coaching and many other resources.
