To children of deceased or severely injured Arizona Workers



Our mission is to fulfill the dreams of many children who cannot reach their potential without help. A legitimate on-the-job accident is devastating not only to the individual employee but to the employee's children. It is the child who looks to the parent for subsistance, guidance, and support. Though the parent always wants more for their child than they had, the future dreams for a better life are often shattered when a parent experiences an industrial injury. This program is designed to keep those future dreams alive. For addtional information about our Kids' Chance of Arizona program Contact Us or apply for a scholarship

 

To qualify for help, the parent's work-related injury or death must have led to a substantial decline in family income. The applicant must be between the ages of 16 and 25 and meet academic standards set by Kids' Chance of Arizona. The scholarship is good for one semester, but the applicant must maintain acceptable grades each quarter in order to continue.
