The Blavin Scholars program is here to support the success of undergraduate students who have experienced time in foster care or have had a compromised family support system.
We offer scholarship opportunities, personal guidance, a supportive community, and help finding resources.

- One-on-one support from a campus coach
- Helpful information from admission through graduation
- A community of friends you can depend on
- 24/7 support from on-call staff
- A U-M faculty or staff mentor
- Special access to campus departments and resources
- Opportunities for community building and bonding
- Options for year-round housing, including holidays and breaks
- The chance to apply for Blavin scholarships (up to $5,000 given to active participants per academic year)
The Blavin Scholars program has graduated 117 scholars, and has over a 95% retention and graduation rate. We are here for you every step of the way.
