A post by @WhiteHouse on X.

First Lady Melania Trump announced a $7.2 million commitment during a weekend visit to Baton Rouge for the LSU-Alabama game, establishing a permanent endowment fund for the FOSTERING THE FUTURE scholarship program at Louisiana State University. The endowment will support LSU students who have experienced foster care, according to a White House post on X. The commitment marks a major expansion of the scholarship initiative, moving it from annual funding to a permanently endowed structure. Details on the fund's administration, disbursement timeline and expected number of recipients were not immediately disclosed. Watch for LSU and the First Lady's office to clarify how the endowment will be managed and when the first awards under the permanent fund will be made.
