MOTIVATING THE MOTIVATED YOUTH
Empowering Foster Youth Through Educational Grants and Critical Needs Support.
We are dedicated to transforming the lives of orphaned and foster youth through education. By providing scholarships and critical need support, we give college going foster youth the tools they need to complete their studies and achieve their full potential.

What They’re Saying
Read brief testimonials from youth whose lives have been impacted by our support.
"My performance both academically and after graduation will continue to reflect directly on the generosity of Power to Soar. It is my ultimate goal to become a shining example of how important programs like this are for developing future leaders and role models."
Catey S.
"PSF, I would first like to thank you for awarding me with this scholarship. Words can’t explain how much this means to me and how helpful this scholarship will be in my life. I am grateful for the work you do and how your generosity has helped former foster youth like myself be able to obtain a college degree and stress a little less about finances. Thank you a thousand times over."
Deirdre H.
"Support from others enables students to allocate their resources into both their financial and academic lifestyle. In return, it enables students to focus on things that are important to them, such as achieving our goals and chasing our dreams. I would say the scholarship is”A gift that keeps on giving” (in a figurative sense) or a “beacon of hope or many”."
R. Lopez
"The Power to Soar scholarship eased the financial burden on me and allowed me to focus all of my energy on getting my education rather than financing it. This award also showed that people believe in me and that I can accomplish my goals; it truly means so much to know that someone is cheering me on!"
