the state -- perhaps a financial aid listserv?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We extend our deepest thanks to our R4T Fund Chair, </span><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#4BA524">Melissa Johnson</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">, who has been
the driving force behind securing donors. For your information, pertinent funding guidelines and the student application are attached. We encourage you to share this information with foster alumni students at your campus as you determine it would be useful
for resolving financial issues for which the Fund is designed (see attached guidelines).

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">To assist with informing key personnel who serve foster alumni on Oklahoma campuses, we will also be disbursing the attached information to college financial aid offices, advising
offices, and through COSA (hopefully). If you have other suggestions, please let us know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">As a reminder, we encourage all campuses to pursue the establishment of on-campus emergency funds for their foster alumni students. The R4T Fund is a statewide fund intended to be
a <u>final</u> safety net behind other on-campus assistance. Suggested processes for working with your Foundation or Advancement Team will be available this fall through the R4T online training. For more info on the Fund or a list of its executive committee
