Empower the Success of Foster Youth at Cal Poly Pomona

The Renaissance Scholars program, launched in 2002, is dedicated to helping current and former foster youth achieve their academic and personal goals. Through a holistic approach that addresses financial insecurity, limited family support and barriers to higher education, the program provides students with the tools, resources and community they need to thrive. Renaissance Scholars embodies Cal Poly Pomona’s commitment to access, equity and student success, helping every participant build a strong foundation for a brighter future.

Your gift directly supports the success of Renaissance Scholars. Donations fund scholarships that ease financial burdens, cover graduation fees and regalia so every student can celebrate their accomplishments and support enrichment programs that prepare students for their careers. Contributions also help create community-building opportunities that foster belonging, confidence and leadership. Together, we can ensure that foster youth at Cal Poly Pomona not only reach graduation but also step boldly into their next chapter with pride and purpose.
