Ways to Give
The mission of the Guardian Scholars Program (GSP) is to support the educational and personal development of former foster youth attending UCLA. In the two years since its inception, the GSP has been able to support students in numerous ways including providing year round housing to ensure that every student has a safe and comfortable place to live, financial support such as scholarships and employment opportunities, and informative workshops such as budgeting and stress management so that students can develop skills necessary to succeed in college and beyond.
With your help, we will be able to continue and expand the great work that has been done for this underrepresented population on the UCLA campus. The Guardian Scholars Program hopes to continue providing supportive services that will help students succeed in their personal and academic endeavors, while also connecting students to resources both on and off campus that will assist them in translating their success into new opportunities. We hope you will consider making a contribution to the Guardian Scholars Program that will make these dreams a reality for these bright young students.
