Foster Youth/ Orphaned Student Resources
Dear Undergraduate Students,
We are pleased to announce a financial aid resource designed to assist with college tuition, room, and board expenses for students who have experienced foster care or were orphaned during their youth. This support extends to:
- Students adopted from foster care after their 13th birthday
- Students living with a relative or kin under a foster care agreement
- Students who aged out of foster care
If you believe you may qualify based on these criteria or other foster care living arrangements, please contact Marj Warden, Director of HEOP & Community Underrepresented Professional Opportunities (CUPO), at mwarden@clarkson.edu. Marj will provide a confidential verification form, which will be submitted to the funding agency to determine eligibility.
Thank you.
