Melania Trump and LSU announce a scholarship program for students who were in foster care
The partnership will fund scholarships and an endowment for foster care students, with more than $7 million in private donations.
- On Saturday, First Lady Melania Trump announced a scholarship partnership with Louisiana State University and her 'Fostering the Future' program to support students who experienced foster care.
- Originating as an offshoot of the 'Be Best' campaign, the initiative was Trump's signature issue during President Donald Trump's first term; she began working on foster care after 2021.
- More than $7 million in private donations was secured for the endowment, the White House said, with MMR Group Inc. committing $5 million and LSU Foundation donors providing more than $2 million.
- LSU President Wade Rousse presented Trump with a team jersey before the game; currently, 14 scholars attend LSU and nine attend Alabama, part of 100 students supported across 26 schools.
- Expanding beyond the U.S., Trump created 'Fostering the Future Together,' a global version with more than 45 participating countries, after previously pushing Congress on Capitol Hill for foster care legislative packages.
