Scholarship Fund
The San Francisco Foster Youth Fund is proud to provide college scholarships to current and former foster youth who have been served by San Francisco’s Human Services Agency’s Family & Children’s Services.
These youth are high school graduates who strive to continue their studies. The scholarships provide modest financial assistance intended to supplement the student’s other funding. They help with any uncovered expenses, including those small extras which they may not otherwise by able to afford, such as books, clothing, or participation in extracurricular activities.
Our current scholars attend the following colleges:
CSU – Channel Islands
CSU – Chico
CSU – Dominguez Hills
CSU – Los Angeles
CSU – Monterey Bay
Laney College
Sacramento State
San Francisco State
Sonoma State
UC Merced
UC Riverside
UCLA
University of San Francisco
Vanguard University
I was a very lucky and blessed person indeed to have been able to be a recipient of your organization.
Thank you for all you have done for me. I am truly grateful to God for sending someone like you in my life. All the help and support really helped and now I am finished with school. I love you from the bottom of my heart.
Dear SFFYF: Your support and encouragement has greatly helped me on my educational path. I am grateful for this much needed opportunity because as we all know it is very difficult for former foster youth to graduate without help. I plan to graduate next year with 2 associate degrees in music and general education. I then plan to study abroad and earn a Masters of Fine Arts. Thank you again for your support.
Thank you for this wonderful scholarship because it makes it possible for me to attend college. One thing I learned in college is that every penny counts!
