Paul and Amy Blavin

Imagine you are 18 and have “aged out” of foster care. You’ve been accepted at the U-M. Without the support of a strong home base, how will you thrive? Paul and Amy Blavin are working with the Division of Student Affairs to create the Blavin Scholars Program, making campus home when there is no other. With your help, they’ll succeed—and so will foster care students from the state of Michigan.
