Children Impacted By Crime Scholarship

Through no fault of their own, there are many children whose life experiences place their educational opportunities in jeopardy. These are children who have had a parent incarcerated, an event that can produce many negative consequences for the children including poverty. These are also children who have been the victim of a crime or whose immediate family members have been crime victims. This, too, can be a life-altering event, which can also produce many negative consequences.

- Must be 18 to apply or have application completed by someone age 18 or older.
