University of Cincinnati college is piloting a program to serve alumni of foster and kinship care
December 12, 2025
In 2025 the Ohio Reach Postsecondary designation was awarded to UC's College of Education, Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Information Technology (CECH) as part of the program's third cohort. The program recognizes and supports higher education institutions that have worked to make their campuses welcoming and accessible for students with a history in foster or kinship care. CECH will run a pilot program called Anchor Point aimed at wide-scale implementation across the campus in Fall 2026.
The Marian Spencer Scholars
We are proud to partner with Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) to offer the Marian Spencer Scholarship Program, exclusively granting CPS students the opportunity to pursue their dreams of higher education. The scholarship is part of UC’s ongoing commitment to CPS, fostering success in CPS students and, in turn, building a stronger Cincinnati.
Scholars are granted full tuition, housing and food in UC’s Marian Spencer Hall, study abroad trips to Tanzania, enhanced advising support, mentorship opportunities, and more!
A destination for today's leaders building a better tomorrow.
