TX: Regional collaboration is helping youth from foster care attend college (Includes video)
There are many reasons collaborations develop. Sometimes it's to create efficiencies, generate profit or spur solutions. But the ones that most people remember are those that come from the heart. The Bexar County Fostering Educational Success project (BCFES) is a prime example of the region's commitment to student success. "I've learned that everyone has a pure interest in providing support to students with a history of foster care," said Airika Buford, project director at BCFES. "They have compassion for our region's students and want to see them succeed. It's truly a selfless act of service." The BCFES is a partnership between UTSA, Texas A&M University-San Antonio (A&M-SA), the Alamo Colleges District (ACD), Bexar County Children's Court and Child Advocates San Antonio (CASA).
