Scholarships, Mentors, & Hope
Take Stock Mission
The Take Stock in Children mission is to break the cycle of poverty for low-income, underrepresented, and academically qualified students by providing them with opportunities for post-secondary education. They achieve this through a multi-pronged approach including scholarships, mentoring, and support services.
The Student Impact
"Can't thank you enough again for introducing me to the scholarship, without you this wouldn't have been possible."

"Hello Ms. Anne!
Ms. Kelly just gave me an update on the housing scholarship. Thank you so much for your generosity and guidance over the past 7 years. It means a lot to me, and I can't believe how fast it all went by!
Right now I’m set on what I want to do after graduation whether it is going straight into graduate school or working for a couple of years before going to graduate school. Either way, I want to be involved in the coral research field and restore the Florida Reef Tract using the scientific method.
Again, thank you for everything you and Take Stock in Children have done for me."
