When a child is raised in foster care, he or she often faces immense adversity and must develop resilience and adaptability in order to overcome the various challenges they may face. The Whitlock Law Hope and Opportunity Scholarship is designed to celebrate and support these resilient individuals as they transition into higher education.
Our scholarship is worth $1,500 and is o?ered to those who grew up in foster care and are now pursuing a college degree. Our goal is to empower these individuals to tell their stories and share how growing up in foster care impacted their lives.
College students interested in applying for our Fall 2025 Hope and Opportunity Scholarship are required to meet the following criteria:
Applicants spent a portion or entirety of their childhood in the foster care system.
Applicants should be pursuing either an undergraduate or graduate degree at an accredited university within the United States.
Applicants should be at least 17 years of age.
Applicants should be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Our application asks students to provide evidence of enrollment in an accredited college or university. This may include uno?cial transcripts, acceptance letters, class schedules, or something similar. Additionally, all applicants must provide the requested contact information included in the application form. For the next part of our application, we ask students to include a 500-word essay answering the following prompt:
Re?ect on a speci?c challenge you faced while in foster care and how it contributed to your personal growth.
Essays will not be accepted after the November 5, 2025 deadline. Contact [email protected] for any additional information.
