Friend,

During the appropriations process, Ted fought to secure $1,000,000 in federal funding for Ready to Succeed, a program empowering foster youth and first-generation college students to graduate college and launch successful careers.

Today, we're reaching out to let you know that, thanks to this funding, Ready to Succeed is providing a $5,000 scholarship to each of the 50 foster youth participating in this year's program! This scholarship will cover basic expenses and help these students start school off on the right foot.

Ted was proud to announce the scholarship and meet recipients at the launch of this year's program, Camp Ready. After Ted announced the news, there were gasps in the room, some people got tears in their eyes, and one danced.?And he wanted to make sure to share the good news with you, too. You can read more about Ready To Succeed and the scholarship here.

Thank you for your continued support of Ted's work,
Team Lieu
