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.

Some held them virtually.
A year later, colleges and universities have scheduled commencement ceremonies in person, virtually, drive in and drive through. In some cases, in-person events will be held over multiple days or multiple times in one day to reduce the number of people attending.
Some schools are either including the class of 2020 or holding separate events for them.
Some of the schools have plans to move outdoor ceremonies indoor if it rains. That could limit the number of people who may attend.
