The Second Mile Post-Secondary Scholarships

Scholarship applications are not available at this time.
Children's Fund Grants
Grants are generally limited to $50 per child ($200 per family) in any given year to allow this resource to be made available to as many youngsters as possible. The Second Mile staff works directly with school counselors and other youth service professionals to identify children with immediate and specific needs for which other funding is not available.
Children's Fund Grants are not currently available.
The Second Mile Community Service Awards
The Community Service Awards program recognizes high school seniors who have demonstrated exemplary levels of commitment to community service. Students living in select counties are eligible for this award. School counselors from high schools in these counties nominate top students who are then recognized for their outstanding achievements. Each nominated student receives a certificate and a savings bond. From these nominations, we choose winners, and these students receive a savings bond.
