Do you know when to trade KSS ?
Kohl's Department Stores will award more than $410,000 in scholarships and prizes, recognizing youths who make a difference by volunteering in their communities.
Nominations for youth volunteers ages six to 18 will be accepted Feb. 1 -- March 15 at kohlskids.com. Nominators must be 21 years or older.
Two nominees from each of Kohl's 1,059 stores nationwide will win a $50 Kohl's gift card, and more than 190 of them will win regional scholarships worth $1,000 toward post-secondary education.
This year, Kohl's is increasing the national winner scholarships where ten national winners will each receive $10,000 in scholarships, and Kohl's will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each winner's behalf.
Since the program began in 2001, Kohl's has awarded nearly 11,000 youth volunteers with more than $2.2 million in scholarships and prizes.
Last year's Kohl's Kids Who Care scholarship winners include 8-year-old Hannah Turner who collected 100,000 clothing items for homeless people, 12-year-old Rocco Fiorentino who contributed to advocacy efforts that led to legislature dedicating $1.2 million to Braille education and services in New Jersey, and 17-year-old Dallas Jessup who raised nearly $1 million and founded a community service project empowering girls to fight back against abduction and assault.
