Goodwill Helps Children of Deceased and Disabled Veterans

Coconut Telegraph

SATURDAY MAR 17, 2018 |

Goodwill Manasota and Take Stock in Children of Manatee County have joined forces to create a scholarship program for the children of service members who have died or become disabled as a result of their military service. Goodwill will be responsible for fundraising; Take Stock in Children (TSIC) will provide scholarship recipients with a Take Stock education and a future. Both organizations will participate in interviewing scholarship candidates. Currently, TSIC provides scholarships to at-risk, academically-qualified students in grades 6-9 who face significant obstacles to furthering their education. The Take Stock model of providing a guaranteed college scholarship, a mentor, and college success coach has led to the organization’s scholars outperforming students on the national level. With the help of Goodwill Manasota’s Veteran Services Program, children of deceased or disabled veterans will now have a dedicated TSIC post-secondary scholarship and a mentor to enable them to reach their potential.
