The Children's Action Network and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption have partnered to create a national scholarship program, Fostering a Future sponsored by Capital One, to benefit older youth adopted from foster care.

The fund was designed to provide children adopted from foster care with the opportunity to pursue their post-secondary educational goals. Fostering a Future will provide those parents who have adopted an older child an opportunity for education assistance by adding this special scholarship to existing post-adoption resources.

They are currently accepting applications. Applicants must:

• have been adopted from the United States foster care system after the age of 13;
• be graduating high school seniors;
• may only apply one time;
• maintain or improve qualifying grade point average throughout applicant’s senior year; and
• demonstrate financial need.

Applications will be accepted between now and April 20, 2010; up to five $10,000 scholarships will be awarded annually.
