Event Description

Pasco Hernando State College Take Stock in Children Pre-Collegiate Program awards a College Scholarship and assigns a Mentor, and College Success Coach to deserving students in Hernando County. Our program helps to ensure that students graduate from high school with the knowledge and skills they need to complete their postsecondary education and to successfully enter the work force.

Take Stock in Children is active in over 800 schools throughout the State of Florida. Students are selected between the 6th and 9th grades, many from minority families, and must meet our low-income and at-risk guidelines. Students are selected in their local communities by highly engaged committees that are comprised of education and civic leaders, as well as corporate sponsors. Take Stock in Children partners with community education foundations, community colleges and school districts throughout the State of Florida to deliver our program services to students. 

Fund-raising is our response to ensuring more scholarships can be awarded. Thank you for deciding to Take Stock in Children.
