I never dreamed it would be like actually graduating high school with all the perks. Nothing was left out! This program is the true definition of caring not just for employees, but loving people and reaching out a helping hand where it seems that others won’t.

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.

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 finally stopped the tears, but I can’t stop smiling and everyone is loving it. Telling my son we will have a home soon meant the world to me.

The KFC Foundation helped me fulfill my dream of becoming a graduate, and now that I've achieved this goal, college is the next step. You're never too young, or too old, to reach for what you want in life.

I applied to the hardship assistance program asking for some help with my brother's funeral, and they sent a check to help my family and me out with the funeral cost. We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

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!"

After a fire destroyed my apartment and belongings, the KFC Foundation provided financial assistance to help me replenish my furniture, bedding, and clothes so that I could get back on my feet.
