Helping emancipated youth achieve their personal goals.
Justin Ealy completed two years at Jackson College, pursuing his dream of a career that blends his love of communications and helping others. He went on to graduate with honors at Western Michigan University, completing his Bachelor's Degree. Justin entered Michigan’s foster care system at the age of 15 and continues to be a part of the program as a college student. As a result of his experiences in foster care that “probably saved my life," he is driven to work with youth who are struggling with everyday problems and particularly with those who are in foster care. A proud mentor to his younger brother, Justin strives through example to impart the value of higher education.
Bolstered by the generous support of The Stanton Foundation Education Scholarship, Justin said, “It’s a humbling experience. I was shocked to hear about it, but I am so thankful for this opportunity for the future.”
