Do you know a young volunteer between the ages of six and 18 that have manned a positive impact on the community? If so, Kohl's Department Stores wants to hear about it.
The Wisconsin-based chain, which has stores throughout the Upstate, is now taking nominations for its Kohl's Cares Scholarship Program.
Kohl's will award more than $425,000 in scholarships and prizes this year. Ranging from $50 Kohl’s gift cards to $10,000 scholarships, more than 2,300 young volunteers who have made a positive impact on their communities will be selected.
Nominations for kids ages six to 18 will be accepted from now until March 15 at kohlskids.com. You must be 21 to nominate someone.
Two nominees from each of the more than 1,100 Kohl’s stores nationwide will win a $50 Kohl’s gift card, and more than 200 will win regional scholarships worth $1,000 toward post-secondary education. Ten national winners will be awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships for post-secondary education, and Kohl’s will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each national winner’s behalf.
Some examples of previous winners:
In 2012, Kohl’s honored national winner Brianna Moore, 15, from Detroit, Michigan who collected, decorated and delivered food baskets that fed more than 400 families in her community, along with collecting and providing hats and gloves for approximately 320 local school children to keep them warm during the harsh Detroit winter. Regional winner, Mackenzie Bearup, 18, was recognized for founding Sheltering Books, Inc., an organization that has collected and donated more than 100,000 books to children in homeless shelters in 35 states and underprivileged school children in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.
