Education is key

For 15 years, embrella (formerly Foster and Adoptive Family Services) has helped thousands of youth in foster care pursue a post-secondary education.

embrella also provides privately funded scholarships and grants for New Jersey foster children and children adopted from DCF who are high school seniors.

The Pathways to Academic and Career Exploration to Success (PACES) program serves NJFC Scholar-eligible adolescents as they transition out of high school in the following counties: Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean.

embrella’s summer camp scholarships for foster children in NJ give children in foster care the chance to attend a week of overnight camp where they can flourish and build self-confidence while having fun.
