跟进：梅拉尼娅在 Baton Rouge 宣布 LSU 寄养奖学金基金增至720万美元

白宫第一夫人办公室11月7日发布声明说，第一夫人梅拉尼娅当天到访路易斯安那州 Baton Rouge，宣布她与路易斯安那州立大学（Louisiana State University，LSU）已筹得720万美元，设立一支永久捐赠基金，为有寄养经历的 LSU 学生提供「培育未来」（Fostering the Future）奖学金。本站11月4日报道这支基金时，公布的金额是500万美元；基金正式启动时，总额已增至720万美元。

声明说，MMR Group 承诺投入500万美元，其余款项来自 LSU 基金会的其他捐赠者。LSU 校长 Wade Rousse 说：「让学生有机会入学是 LSU 的首要任务之一，因为出身处境不该决定才华与抱负能否施展。MMR Group 为第一夫人梅拉尼娅的『培育未来』提供的这笔奖学金资金，对渴望取得 LSU 学位的有寄养经历青年来说是变革性的。」

梅拉尼娅在声明所附的预先准备讲稿中说：「好的教育不只是让人为工作生活做准备，它给人的东西是谁也夺不走的。我们能给一个年轻人最有力量的东西，莫过于世界一流的教育。」她说：「作为成年人，我们对孩子负有道义责任，对有寄养经历的孩子尤其如此。但大家都知道，我们必须行动，才能真正带来改变。寄养群体需要的不是言辞。」

为庆祝基金启动，梅拉尼娅到 Tiger Stadium 观看了 LSU 对 University of Alabama 的 NCAA 橄榄球比赛，「培育未来」在全场展示：LSU 球员球衣上带有 BE BEST Fostering the Future 标识，头盔贴纸、赛前宣布活动中的啦啦队服装、吉祥物服装、纪念球迷毛巾与一颗限量版仪式用球都带上了这一标识；SEC 官员还同意在比赛正式抛硬币环节使用一枚第一夫人梅拉尼娅挑战币。

梅拉尼娅说，University of Alabama 也是「培育未来」的合作伙伴：「今天，我们在 LSU 有14名奖学金生，在阿拉巴马有9名。本学期，全美26所大学正在支持100名『培育未来』奖学金生。」她对有寄养经历的孩子与青年说：「我看见你们。我相信你们。我会继续与你们一起创造新的机会。」

「培育未来」是梅拉尼娅2021年设立的 BE BEST 倡议，为有寄养经历的青年在全美26所高校争取奖学金机会。白宫说，该倡议已推动加强儿童福利体系的联邦改革，扩大寄养青年过渡期的教育与住房机会，并为「梅拉尼娅·特朗普寄养青年独立计划」争取到3,000万美元；相关行政令推进教育、就业、住房与财务独立方面的机会，她还发起了美国首个专为寄养青年长期财务安全设立的储蓄与投资计划「培育未来账户」，已有26位州长承诺为本州寄养儿童设立账户。

Follow-up: Melania Trump Announces LSU Foster-Care Scholarship Endowment Grows to $7.2 Million in Baton Rouge

The Office of the First Lady said in a statement on November 7 that First Lady Melania Trump visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and announced that she and Louisiana State University (LSU) have secured $7.2 million to establish a permanent endowment fund supporting Fostering the Future scholarships for LSU students who experienced foster care. When GSM reported the fund on November 4, the announced amount was $5 million; by the fund's formal launch, the total had grown to $7.2 million.

MMR Group committed $5 million, with contributions from additional LSU Foundation donors, the statement said. "Access is a top priority for LSU, because circumstances should not determine whether talent and ambition thrive. MMR Group's visionary scholarship funding for First Lady Melania Trump's FOSTERING THE FUTURE is transformative for youth from foster care who aspire to earn an LSU degree," said LSU President Wade Rousse.

"A great education does more than prepare someone for work life. It gives something no one can ever take away. There is nothing more powerful we can give a young person than a world-class education," Mrs. Trump said in her prepared remarks released with the statement. "As adults, we have a moral obligation to our children, especially those in foster care. But, as you know, we must act to truly make a difference. The foster care community doesn't need words," she said.

To celebrate the initiative, Mrs. Trump visited Baton Rouge for the LSU-Alabama NCAA football game at Tiger Stadium, where Fostering the Future was prominently showcased across the stadium. The campaign featured branded BE BEST FOSTERING THE FUTURE patches on LSU players' jerseys, helmet decals, cheerleader uniforms during the pre-game announcement event, mascot attire, commemorative fan towels, and a limited-edition ceremonial football. SEC officials also agreed to use a First Lady Melania Trump Challenge Coin for the game's official coin toss.

The University of Alabama is also a Fostering the Future partner. "Today, we have fourteen scholars at LSU and nine at Alabama. Across the country, 26 universities are supporting 100 Fostering the Future scholars this semester," Mrs. Trump said. "To the Fostering the Future scholars here today, and throughout America: I see you. I believe in you. And I will keep working to create new opportunities with you."

Fostering the Future, a BE BEST initiative established by Mrs. Trump in 2021, secures scholarship opportunities at 26 colleges and universities across the nation for young people with lived experience in foster care. The White House said the initiative has advanced federal reforms to strengthen the child welfare system, expanded educational and housing opportunities for youth transitioning out of foster care, and secured $30 million for the Melania Trump Foster Youth to Independence program. Her Fostering the Future Executive Order advances access to education, employment, housing, and financial independence, and she also launched Fostering the Future Accounts, a savings and investment initiative for youth in foster care, with 26 governors already pledging to establish accounts for children in their states.
