Fostering Laker Success is a campus-based program that works with youth who have
experienced foster care and other out of home placements.  We are housed in the Office of
Student Support and Belonging in the Division of Enrollment Development and Educational
Outreach. 

Our mission is student success! Program participants will have access to key resources that can
help students succeed in their personal, academic, and professional lives. Participants will also
gain a community of supportive staff and mentors to assist them in reaching their goals.

 Program Eligibility:

supervised by the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) at age
14 or older.
 Participant is younger than 23.
