Foster Hope Foundation Scholarship
We are extremely proud to offer scholarships to high school students. We created this scholarship in honor of our dear friend, Rob, who was in foster care most of his life and emulated love, positivity and happiness. He was a close friend who passed away too soon due to a tragic accident, but had an incredibly positive impact on everyone’s life he came into contact with. He was constantly smiling and happy, and just had a beautiful, optimistic, positive view of life.
I am a fan of friendships, believing in something bigger than yourself and making sure everyone smiles within a few minutes of meeting me.
~ Rob
