Star Kids Scholarship Program
The Star Kids Scholarship Program provides tuition scholarships and funding for related educational supports (tutoring, books, uniforms, after-school programs, summer camps and more) to low-income, at-risk children in grades K – 12 with a parental history of incarceration and/or substance abuse.
