Background
I am not the “traditional” independent student. I was kicked out by my parents at 17 and was homeless and couch surfing my senior year of high school. I didn’t think that I was going to be able to go to college but luckily when I told CSU about my situation they referred me to FSP and FSP made sure that I didn’t fall through the cracks. Because of FSP I was able to graduate from college on time and get priceless work experience working at the program. I majored in International Studies and Spanish in college then after graduating college in 2019 I took a year off to take the LSAT and I started at the University of Idaho in Fall of 2020. I’m hoping to practice Immigration Law.

Interest in Fostering Success Program
FSP helped me in so many ways that I can’t even count: helped me achieve my dream of studying abroad, gave me a sense of community, and gave me access to scholarships that enabled me to finish undergrad. I am so excited at how much the program has expanded and am thrilled to be a part of that expansion.
