A new college scholarship program has launched for young adults that are aging out of the foster care system.
The Lenfest Immensitas Scholars Program, using the Latin term for “boundless,” is funded by $1.8 million from the Brook J. Lenfest Foundation and administered through the Philadelphia Foundation. The program will fund winning applicants with money to pay for room, board, and expenses associated with being a full-time college student.
To help students pay for tuition, Immensitas will lean on the state’s Fostering Independence Through Education Tuition Waiver Program, a grant program of Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.
