“Give kids a Chance Scholarship has helped me in ways that my mother wished she could on her own. 


Being a recipient for Give kids a Chance has been a Stress relief for my mom and also has given me that 


boost to continue to go to college and follow my dreams. With that being said I do not think I would be a 


Sophomore starting Fall 2017 if it wasn't for you guys. Thank you for believing in me and thank you for 


not giving up on me.”

“During my senior year of high school, I was deeply afraid of how I will finance my college education 


or even if I would even go to college. Realizing the impact education has for those of a successful 


lifestyle, the GKAC scholarship has empowered me to navigate through my time at a university. 


Furthermore, the scholarship provided affirmation that others believe in my potential, abilities 


and educational endeavors.”

“The GKAC Scholarship has allowed me to pursue my undergraduate studies at the University of 


Florida without worrying about the financial issues that occur, especially coming from a low-income 


background.”

“The Give Kids A Chance Scholarship has helped me reach my full potential in school. Instead of 

having to focus on how I am going to pay my bills (such as books, tuition fees, food, rent, etc.) I have 

been able to fully immerse myself into my major and profession.”


- Antonella Valencia

“Your help has allowed me to be one step closer to my goal and has inspired me to help others by 


giving back to the community. I hope one day I will be able to help other high school students 


achieve their goal just as you have helped me.”
