Kids
Chance of West Virginia
The
Kids Chance of West Virginia is a non-profit organization that
was incorporated in 1999 by a task force of business leaders.
The task force found a need for support for employees
in the workers compensation arena, so the Kids Chance of West
Virginia was started and designed to provide scholarships to
students whose parents have been injured seriously on the job
and can no longer work.
The scholarship recipients are chosen based on
financial need, academic assistance, leadership skills, and
involvement in the community.
In the past three years the program has awarded sixteen
scholarships to students from the ages of fifteen to
twenty-three.
The scholarships can be used to continue or further
education at the secondary, post-secondary, or professional
level.
The Robert H. Mollohan Foundation Community Grant
Program gave the program a community grant, which will
help them provide more scholarships for students in the year
2003.
The Kids Chance of West Virginia scholarships are
administered by the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation.
