Scholarship Partner Level 

The Scholarship Partner Level represents either a two-year technical college or four-year university commitment to support a student throughout their collegiate studies. Companies and individuals who commit to a specific or minimum annual donation may sponsor a dedicated KCFL scholarship recipient.

At the sponsor’s discretion, the scholarship may include the name of the sponsoring company or individual. Kids’ Chance of Florida (KCFL) will also consider, at its discretion and within its scholarship guidelines, specific parameters requested by Scholarship Partners.
