Kohl's plans to recognize 1,900 compassionate kids through the Kids Who Care Scholarship Program. Through the Kohl's Kids Who Care Scholarship Program, more than 7,000 scholarships and prizes totaling over $1.5 million have been awarded to youth volunteers nationwide since 2001. This year, Kohl's plans to award another 1,900 kids ages 6 to 18 with $300,000 in scholarships and prizes. Awards range from $50 to $5,000 to recognize their selfless acts. Last year's national Kids Who Care scholarship winners included a 9-year-old who raised $19,000 to buy 23,000 pounds of food for a local food pantry, a 12-year-old who raised more than $20,000 for kids with life-threatening illnesses and a 17-year-old who founded a school group to increase student and community autism awareness. To nominate a young volunteer for a Kid Who Cares scholarship, visit www.kohlskidswhocare.com. Nominations will be through March 15. Two nominees from each of Kohl's more than 900 stores will win a $50 Kohl's gift card, and 190 of them will win regional scholarships worth $1,000 toward post-secondary education. Ten volunteers will earn national recognition winning scholarships worth $5,000 toward post-secondary education. Kohl's also will contribute $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on behalf of each national winner.
