Our Scholars

Our scholars are a remarkable group of resilient and ambitious students that come from diverse backgrounds. Each year, approximately 40 students enroll in the Guardian Scholars Program, which draws foster youth from counties across California, such as Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Fresno, Monterey, Ventura, San Diego, and Imperial Valley.

More than 90 Guardian Scholars have graduated from Cal State Fullerton since the program’s inception in 1998. Many Guardian Scholars have gone on to receive Master’s degrees in the fields that include social work, counseling, education, and international business.
