First Lady Melania Trump to Go to LSU-Alabama Game, Announces $5 Million Endowment Fund
- First Lady Melania Trump will visit Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge on Saturday, Nov. 7, to announce a $5 million permanent endowment fund supporting LSU students who have experienced foster care.
- The endowment supports the 'Fostering the Future' initiative, which Melania Trump established in 2021 as part of her Be Best program to help foster youth overcome barriers to college completion.
- Research from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows only 8% to 12% of people with foster care experience earn a degree by their mid-20s, underscoring the critical need for this targeted financial aid.
- During Saturday's LSU Tigers versus Alabama Crimson Tide football game at Tiger Stadium, the Fostering the Future campaign will activate across campus and on the field to promote scholarship opportunities.
- More than 20 schools nationwide now offer these scholarships, with LSU Chancellor Jim Dalton, a vocal foster care advocate and foster parent himself, championing the program's expansion across Louisiana's system.
