The Faces of Kids’ Chance - Shanna C.

"On behalf of my family, and myself we would like thank Kids’ Chance of Indiana for all the support they have given me throughout my college career. Many years ago my father was injured at his job and to this day still has never fully recovered. His injury prevented him from working and still does. While wondering how we were going to be able to afford college for me, my father’s lawyer suggested we apply for a Kids’ Chance of Indiana scholarship. Kids’ Chance has been supporting me throughout my four years of college and helping me to achieve my academic goals; because of them I don’t need to fear graduating in debt."Shanna C.American Academy of ArtKids’ Chance of Indiana Scholarship RecipientOur Faces of Kids’ Chance community continues to grow.
