Kohl's Cares to award nearly $400,000 in scholarships

Kohl's Department Stores Kohl's Cares Scholarship Program recently announced it will award nearly $400,000 in scholarships and prizes to more than 2,500 students who have made a positive impact on their communities.

Nominations for kids, age 6 to 18, will be accepted Jan. 30 to March 13 at kohlskids.com.

"Children around the country are doing inspiring work in their communities every day and Kohl's is proud to reward these future leaders through the Kohl's Cares Scholarship Program," said Bevin Bailis, Kohl's senior vice president, communications and public relations. "We encourage parents, teachers, neighbors and friends to nominate the outstanding youth in their lives, so we can honor and acknowledge young volunteers for their time, innovation and passion for helping others and making a difference this year."

Ten national winners will each be awarded a $10,000 scholarship for higher education, and Kohl's will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each national winner's behalf.

Nearly 200 students will win regional scholarships worth $1,000 toward higher education, and more than 2,000 local students will receive a $50 Kohl's gift card.
