Today, the Kohl’s Department Stores’ Kohl’s Cares® Scholarship Program will recognize more than 2,300 young volunteers nationwide who have made a positive impact in their communities through volunteerism. Twenty-five youth from Kansas will each receive a $50 gift card and recognition certificate from Kohl’s to honor their community service efforts.
These winners qualify for the chance to receive a $1,000 regional scholarship for higher education, which Kohl’s will award in July. Of the nearly 200 regional winners, 10 national winners will each receive a total of $10,000 in scholarships, and Kohl’s will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each national winner’s behalf. In total this year, Kohl’s will recognize more than 2,300 young volunteers with nearly $400,000 in scholarships and prizes. The winners in both states are listed below.
