This program is the true definition of caring for not just employees but people and reaching out a helping hand where it seems that others won’t. I want my children to see that just because something doesn’t happen when it should, doesn’t mean it cannot happen at all.

It is not easy for first generation students like myself to be able to work and go to school at the same time, but this grant has made it possible for students around the country to be able to do just that.

I'm so thankful that KFC is giving me the opportunity to pursue my passion and become a nurse practitioner. I like the feeling I get when I help someone, especially children. I want to be the reason a child gets to do what they always wanted to do. You never know, I could be helping a kid who ends up curing cancer!"

Thank you so much for this scholarship. It means the world to me. Without it, I probably wouldn't be able to go to school. Being able to go to college has helped me discover who I am and what my place in the world is, and I am excited to see what happens in the future.
