Aquinas College (Grand Rapids, Michigan):

In an effort to assist young adults leaving the Michigan Foster Care System, Aquinas College offers the Fostering Success Scholarship Initiative.  This initiative ensures that two prospective students per academic year will receive scholarships and grants covering tuition, room, board and book costs. 

Recipients must be Michigan Residents and must be in the Michigan foster care system at the time of high school graduation or be in foster care when they turn 18 years of age.  The scholarship is renewable each year as long as the student maintains full-time status and demonstrates satisfactory academic progress.

Incoming freshman interested in this scholarship will need to complete an application for admission and submit high school transcripts and ACT or SAT scores.  Recipients must also file a FAFSA and complete an ETV application with the State of Michigan.
