The MSU FAME Program is a resource center for MSU students who have been in the foster care system or other out of home placements. FAME exists to provide a supportive network for foster care alumni on campus and connect them to supportive services to ensure their success as college students and support them toward graduation. Key components of the FAME program include: Individual Coaching, Mentoring Program, Care Package Delivery during final exams, Interactive website for service linkages, Campus Champions in various departments throughout the University, Financial Assistance Fund, Student Activity Board, which provides leadership and advocacy experience and individualized life skills training and development. FAME also offers a college and adult life preparatory summer camp for current high school students in foster care, which is held annually in August.
