Mission
The mission of Kids' Chance of Pennsylvania, Inc. (Kids' Chance of PA) is to provide financial support for college and vocational education, through scholarship grants, to children of Pennsylvania workers who have been killed or seriously injured in a work-related accident resulting in financial need. The hardships to children and families created by the death or serious disability of a parent often include financial ones, making it difficult for deserving young people to pursue their educational dreams. Kids' Chance of PA makes a significant difference in the lives of affected Pennsylvania families by providing scholarship support to help eligible students pursue and achieve their higher education goals.
