Alumni Scholarship Recipient

Johanna Foster

Johanna Foster

Johanna Foster is studying social work and is a proud recipient of the Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship, made possible by the support of alumni donors. After graduation, she hopes to advocate for children in the foster care system. Johanna was inspired to pursue this career path because of the social worker who advocated for her and her brother to be reunited in adoption after being separated in the foster care system. Johanna dreams of working with either the veteran community or Child Protective Services.
