Kyra’s Story

Kyra entered the foster care system at eight years old. She lived in eight different homes until graduation before embarking on an education through our scholarship program. Although childhood left her skeptical of close relationships, she has made great strides through a tremendous bond with her ISF mentor. She is earning her bachelor’s degree in Choral Music Education, and she got married!

Kyra relies on her on-campus employment to pay her bills, and is currently unable to work due to the pandemic. When you support the International Student Foundation this National Foster Care Month, you support emergency expenses and future scholarships for students like Kyra. A simple helping hand can set students on a successful trajectory.
