Offered by Albuquerque Community Foundation
Are you a college student in New Mexico that has been in the foster care system? If so, you might be interested in applying to the Youth in Foster Care Scholarship! This scholarship is open to students in New Mexico who have been in the foster care system and are pursuing a postsecondary education. The scholarship is offered by the Albuquerque Community Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on providing grants to improve the community in Albuquerque. Its creation was inspired by Jim and Anne Nelson, a couple who developed a deep understanding of the best interests and needs of foster youth and neglected children through their work with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). Thus, the Youth in Foster Care scholarship aims to help those affected by an unstable childhood continue their education. Every year, one award of $1,000 is given to help a lucky student fund their undergraduate degree. If you are an undergraduate student from New Mexico who has been in the foster care system, we encourage you to apply!
