FOSTERING THE FUTURE [Transform a Life]
A college education gives foster youth something no one can take away: a lifetime of knowledge.

That’s why I built the nationwide Fostering the Future University Network- delivering scholarships rooted in technology at elite institutions. We now have the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Georgia Bulldogs, Florida Gators, Texas Longhorns, Villanova Wildcats, Ohio State Buckeyes, plus many more.

As National Foster Care Month comes to an end, step up and support America’s young leaders.

[U.S. Senators: Pass the Fostering the Future Act.]

[First Lady Melania Trump @FLOTUS]

In safeguarding our children’s well-being, we shape the integrity of our nation. But to get there, a strong knowledge base is required.

Education is the cornerstone of a child’s future.

Clearly, education is the foundation that can remain throughout one’s lifetime. Yes, knowledge is permanent.

Fostering the Future is built on four community-centric pillars to support America’s youth.

THE FOSTERING THE FUTURE ACT
Today, the House unanimously passed the Fostering the Future Act.  

Senators- we have momentum. Let’s protect our foster care community and enact permanent law now.

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

Today, the House passed H.R. 7432, the Fostering the Future Act, advancing meaningful reforms to better support foster youth. A tremendous amount of hard work, leadership, and dedication went into developing these reforms, and it is amazing to see this bipartisan effort move one step closer to delivering the brighter future America’s foster youth deserve!

[Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith]

Today marks a historic moment for the Ways and Means Committee and the House as we take action to give our nation’s foster youth a stronger path toward independence and success in adulthood.

I’m especially grateful to @FLOTUS for her leadership and unwavering advocacy through the Fostering the Future initiative, and to @RepLaHood for his commitment to elevating the voices of foster youth and advancing meaningful reforms that deliver real opportunity and support for their future.

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

Foster youth need resources and support to successfully transition into adulthood.

Today, the House is taking up the Fostering the Future Act, bipartisan legislation focused on strengthening and modernizing the foster care system for young people across America. We are extremely grateful to @FLOTUS and our members for their bipartisan leadership and hard work to advance this effort and help create brighter futures for foster youth!

“This is a time of military conflict for America. And whereby we honor our selfless and valiant Service Members regularly, today is the day we hold their mothers in the highest regard. It is these military mothers who find themselves alone, awake in their thoughts, in the darkest hours of the night. Of course, we must also remember the mothers with a spouse overseas, praying for a safe return so their family can become whole once again.“
