AbstractThe Pitt Horizon Scholars program is an emerging initiative designed to provide comprehensive support to youth and young adults who have experienced the foster care system, guiding them to and through their educational journey at Pitt. This collaborative effort to shape a Campus Support Program for the Horizon Scholars is led by the Office of the Provost University Educational Outreach Center, in conjunction with the School of Social Work, the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and many others. This program aims to tackle the distinctive challenges that impede the persistence, retention, and post-secondary completion of Horizon Scholars. The Horizon Scholars program builds from ongoing national requirements and efforts with the Fostering Success Initiative as well as existing programming at Pitt to facilitate access to Pitt and to provide supports through college. The Pitt Horizon Scholars panel will raise awareness about the program to foster support and collective action to ensure the academic success of potential and current Pitt students within the foster care system.
