The Jacobs Scholar Program provides an opportunity for students impacted by foster care at age 14 years or older (eligible for CHAFEE funds) to pursue an undergraduate degree. The program promotes academic success and degree completion through a continuous system of support and resources. Scholars receive professional guidance and educational support along with faculty and alumni mentoring.
The goal is to assure successful planning and preparation for college, followed by structured academic coaching to make a smooth transition to college and academic success.
