Foster youth at UCLA have a number of resources at their disposal to aid with the transition to college ““ housing, financial aid and counseling services, to name a few.

This lack of support hinders many foster youth from entering any college, let alone UCLA.
Steven Severance, a third-year political science student, said education became a way to escape turmoil at home.
Despite the largely negative effects of his home life, Severance said his biological parents nonetheless instilled a drive for success from early on.
Severance was raised in a family prone to domestic violence until he entered foster care only two years before coming to UCLA.
University police will not continue investigation of the July 10 sexual assault that took place at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house.
Nancy Salas, the former UCLA student who told police in May that she had been kidnapped and assaulted, has been sentenced to 100 hours of community service and three years of informal probation.
University police are continuing to investigate the sexual assault that took place on July 10 at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house, although no one had been arrested as of Friday.
A female student was sexually assaulted at 2:50 a.m. on July 10 at a party at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house on 613 Gayley Ave.
