Well into the 21st century, foster care alumni continue to be an invisible population on most college campuses. Educational attainment remains exceptionally low for this population, and their postsecondary educational experiences woefully understudied. Given the critical importance of postsecondary educational attainment and the perpetual gap in the literature regarding foster care alumni, we sought to describe the lived experiences of foster care alumni who have persisted and achieved academic success in postsecondary education with this narrative study. By focusing on successful foster care alumni within an antideficit framework of positive psychology, this study highlights how foster care alumni utilized their personal strengths to overcome obstacles and succeed. Seven self-identified foster care alumni, including college upperclassmen and recent college graduates, were each interviewed twice. From these biographical interviews, we identified five positive capabilities, designated foster kids capital, that successful foster care alumni exhibit. These findings provide a counternarrative to the prevailing stigma surrounding foster care alumni and could benefit university efforts to support the success of these students.
