Kids’ Chance of America is a 501 (c)(3) organization that represents a collection of state-level non-profit Kids’ Chance organizations that provide scholarship opportunities to children who need financial assistance due to a parent’s work-related injury or fatality.

The guiding principle is: More money for more kids!

What Makes Kids’ Chance Awareness Week Special?

In 2016, scholarship applications increased significantly but we know there are more students in need of assistance. Kids’ Chance Awareness Week is designed to increase visibility through special outreach events in each state that will spread the word about Kids’ Chance scholarship opportunities.

There are currently 39 Kids’ Chance state organizations with several additional states in the planning stages. The goal is to establish a Kids’ Chance presence in every state so that all eligible students can access scholarship assistance. Find out if there’s a Kids’ Chance in your state.

In order to help in that goal, Kids’ Chance established the national Planning for the Future initiative. Through this initiative, Kids’ Chance helps industry professionals identify families of injured workers with children who are not yet of college age and get them connected to Kids’ Chance. That way, when the time comes, they can be connected to their state organization to apply for a scholarship.

If you or someone you know is eligible for a Kids’ Chance scholarship, please contact us via our Planning for the Future form.
