The Fostering Success Program (FSP) is a network of students, staff, and faculty who connect to form a support system for Colorado State University (CSU) students who have experienced foster care, kinship care, group homes, ward of court, orphan status, or other independent backgrounds.  The Fostering Success Program creates a safety net of support and resources for independent students starting with the application process and continuing all the way through to graduation and career placement. While we strongly encourage student participation, the Fostering Success Program is a voluntary group and students can elect not to participate.
