SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Fostering Independence Program
A meeting with the financial aid department in July of 2014 resulted in the obtainment of a $100,000 grant to assist foster care youth who have aged out or who do not meet the DHS-eligible guidelines. The grant can also be given to students who do meet DHS-eligible guidelines. The grant is now called the Fostering Independence Program and allows TIP Wayne State students to receive up to $2500 per semester to offset student loans.
