Scholarships for youth in/aging out of foster care

We recently shared the exciting news of our new partnership with Chowan University—a collaboration that is already creating meaningful opportunities for young people with experience in foster care. We wanted to share an exciting update!

In just a few weeks, the Comfort Cases team will travel to North Carolina to host a special packing party for incoming students as they prepare to begin this exciting new chapter. For many of these students, this will be their very first experience moving into a college residence hall with the essential items and encouragement they deserve.

This partnership represents so much more than a scholarship. Together, Comfort Cases and Chowan University are removing financial barriers that too often prevent youth transitioning from foster care from pursuing higher education.

Through Chowan University's Hope Scholarship program:

• Eligible students can receive up to $10,000 per year in scholarship support.
• The scholarship is renewable for up to four years, providing as much as $40,000 toward a college degree.
• There is no limit to the number of eligible students who can receive the scholarship. Every qualified Hope Scholarship applicant who is accepted to Chowan University is guaranteed this financial support.
• Students also benefit from Chowan's welcoming campus community, small class sizes, and personalized academic support—resources that are especially valuable for students who may not have traditional family support systems.

For youth aging out of foster care, access to higher education can be transformational. A college education offers not only financial opportunity but also stability, confidence, community, and the chance to build an independent future.

Your support through GlobalGiving helps make partnerships like this possible. Because of your generosity, Comfort Cases is able to connect deserving students with life-changing educational opportunities while ensuring they begin their college journey with the supplies, encouragement, and support they need to succeed.

Thank you for believing in the potential of every young person we serve. Together, we are helping students move beyond their circumstances and toward brighter futures.
