For those interested in this topic: The Winston Rhea Scholarship is an amazing organization. For some context on how serious of an issue this is, here are some stats from their site:
400,000+ children are currently in the foster care system in the United States. Less than 3% of those will obtain a college degree, less than 1% will obtain an advanced degree. One in five will be homeless within 6 months of exiting care. One in five of the females will end up pregnant before age 21. One in four of the males will have been arrested at some point before age 25.
This group helps young adults coming out of foster care - which btw at 18 you're basically kicked out and on your own - and helps them improve their odds.
I am not a part of the non-profit, but I know people working on it, and let me tell you what they're doing is so fucking important. Consider donating or at the very least learning more about this issue: https://www.winstonrhea.org/
