Fostering Terp Success

Fostering Terp Success is a campus-wide community of support and belonging for students who are struggling with homelessness as well as those who have a history of involvement in foster care. Our comprehensive network of supportive staff and faculty is committed to removing barriers to and assisting students in accessing essential campus services, navigating challenges, and developing self-advocacy and life skills. We offer coaching, workshops, and access to professional staff, referrals, and targeted resources in the community.
