ORLANDO – Earning a college degree is virtually a necessity to fulfill professional goals and dreams. Without proper guidance and financial support, however, it’s very difficult for many to complete that academic journey.

It’s essential for students from low-economic backgrounds to get a boost. Many kids need mentors and some extra encouragement.

The Take Stock in Children program has been so successful and valuable for thousands of students in Florida for over 20 years providing that much-needed support and extra encouragement. The methods used by Take Stock in Children play a major role in helping more kids from low-income communities graduate high school and college.
