You Don't Have to Do College Alone

The PUSH Program is here to support foster care alumni every step of the way — from day one on campus through graduation and beyond. We connect you to a caring, campus‑wide network designed to help you overcome challenges, stay focused on your goals, and thrive at UNT.

PUSH is built around one simple idea: when students feel supported, they succeed.

A Campus-Wide Network

The PUSH program includes a structured, campus-wide network of support to assist foster care alumni in achieving educational success.  To accomplish a comfortable and responsive environment for foster care alumni, the PUSH program has a network of internal Campus Champions in all critical areas of the university that support student success.  Campus Champions include decision makers and unit leaders who may be called upon to provide needed resources, perspective, advocacy, and influence on campus. UNT's internal champions work to advance program development, advocate for a collaborative approach, and provide influential and often impassioned voices for the support of youth from foster care.  The goal of Campus Champions is to eliminate barriers on campus that may exist that impede foster care alumni from being successful.
