PROGRAM SERVICES
Guardian Scholars offers a wide range of services to support foster and kinship students
on their educational journey. Students have access to academic, career and transfer
counseling, as well as guidance with financial aid and Chafee Grant applications.
Scholarship resources, textbook loans and school supplies help reduce financial barriers,
while priority registration ensures timely access to classes.
To foster success beyond the classroom, the program — located in the Portable 1 Building, Room P1 109 — offers student success workshops, meal assistance and dedicated study areas both indoors and outdoors. Students also have access to a computer station with printer and a copy machine, making Guardian Scholars a true one-stop resource for academic and personal support.
