Kids' Chance Scholarships Available to Children of Injured Workers
Like us, you know how deeply family members can be affected by a workplace injuries, both financially and emotionally. The impact of such injuries is long lasting. A family's struggles and challenges don't disappear once we obtain a verdict or a settlement or payment of their medical expenses.
They persist.
But at least there's help out there from groups like Kids' Chance of North Carolina, a scholarship program meant to help the children who become unwitting casualties of workplace injuries.
Kids' Chance of North Carolina scholarships are available to any student between the ages 16 and 25 whose parent's on-the-job injury or death resulted in a substantial decline in family income.
Scholarships in the amount of $4,500 annually may be used to pay for high school, technical school or college tuition, books, housing, meals or transportation. Another goal of Kids' Chance is to prevent students from dropping out of school. So scholarship recipients may also use the money to contribute to the family income.
