Disadvantaged and displaced children oftentimes experience unique barriers that hinder their academic success. Children are able to submit a scholarship application to help cover the costs of necessary tools for school such as scientific calculators, books and computers, required items for technical or trade schools like steel-toed boots, resources for public bus transportation to and from school and fees for activities such as field trips, SAT/ACT tests, educational programs and tutoring.
For many of the families A Precious Child serves, these resources simply break the monthly budget, yet they are necessary for a child’s educational advancement, empowering each child to move forward in their education.
