“College has opened up many doors that would not have been opened up to me had I not worked toward a degree. I am well aware that only 2% of foster youth graduate college. I am proud to be counted among them.” Paula Carvalho became the first Fostering Scholar to graduate when she received her degree in 2008. She also holds a Master’s in Teaching from Seattle U.
