The Guardian Scholars Program’s purpose is to create a network of support that will meet the academic, social, emotional, and financial needs of college-bound students who are transitioning out of the foster care system. The program is fully committed to empowering these youth to become self-supporting, conscious community leaders, role models, and competent professionals in their fields of interest.

We provide a comprehensive support program to help you achieve an A.A./A.S. degree, complete a certificate program or transfer to a four-year institution.
