Kids' Chance, Inc. of PA is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to provide educational scholarships to children of workers who have been seriously injured or killed in PA work-related injuries. The parent's injury, illness or death must be compensable under PA's workers' compensation law, and the applicant must be between the ages of 16 and 25. Scholarships will be awarded to 30 students for the upcoming school year. For a list of board members' names and addresses, click here . The funds can be used for tuition, books, supplies, room and board, transportation and other school expenses.
Scholarships are for one school year and are given directly to the institutions where possible.
The Scholarship Committee determines how and where scholarships are given, and award letters are sent to recipients and college institutions. Their efforts include direct mailings to all school districts and their workers' compensation insurers, school superintendents, business managers, school board presidents and every high school principal in the state.
