You can also make a difference with a monetary donation! Thank you for supporting the Blavin Scholars mission.
“The main challenges that I ran into before I could even come to school as a transitioning foster youth was paying for just small things like bedding and the moving in necessities. I was fortunate to immediately have support from the Blavin Scholars program and volunteers.” — Blavin Scholar
