Serving youth with lived experience in foster care in their pursuit of a college or vocational degree

Donate

Over 20,000 foster care students age out each year.

Less than 3% will earn a college degree.

But more than 80% of ISF students will earn a degree.

At ISF, we are changing the narrative for foster youth in three ways:

Financial Support

ISF's financial support can cover any necessary expense that enables a student to stay in school.

Mentoring

ISF students receive a one-on-one mentor to guide them through life decisions, college, and planning for their futures.

Leadership

ISF students can participate in an annual leadership conference in Dallas and are given the opportunity to join a mission trip serving orphans in resource-challenged areas.

LEARN ABOUT THE NEW ISF TEXAS CHAPTER

“Coming out of foster care, we do not easily trust people. That is a psychological thing that makes sense for what we’ve been through. But I realized that I couldn’t navigate college by myself. I had to allow myself to be vulnerable with ISF, grow in relationships, grow in mentorships. I truly have people there to help me.”

— Hailey, Class of 2020
