Abstract: This phenomenological study explores how precollegiate summer programs influence the postsecondary perceptions and sense of belonging among students experiencing foster care (SEFC). Grounded in Strayhorn's (2018) sense of belonging framework, focus group data from Georgia-based programs reveal SEFC define belonging as comfort and support. Although participants value targeted resources, they want them without being "othered" due to their foster care experiences. These findings highlight the importance of integrating SEFC perspectives in developing precollegiate program content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
