The Super Kids Scholarship Program ensures that promising young people receive the support, guidance, and educational opportunities they need to pursue a college education and build independent, successful lives.
The program focuses on students who have demonstrated resilience, drive, and strength in the face of adversity.
Since 1989, the Foundation for Good Business has awarded more than 120 scholarships, totaling over $1.2 million in financial support to promising students across the state, providing a pathway to further education that otherwise would be out of reach. Beyond financial assistance, the Foundation also serves as an advocate, providing mentorship, guidance, and ongoing support to help students thrive both in school and in life.
Connecting students with caring adult mentors who provide guidance, encouragement, and support
Equipping students with the skills, experiences, and confidence to lead in their careers and communities
Each candidate is recommended by someone in their community who recognizes their potential—such as a teacher, counselor, neighbor, or mentor. Recommended students are required to complete an application and provide supporting documents, which are reviewed by the Foundation. Finally, potential recipients are invited for an interview to discuss their goals, challenges, and needs.
If selected as a Super Kid, the Foundation begins a close, hands-on relationship with each student, helping them prepare for life after high school, navigate the college application process, and successfully transition into college or technical school.
We generally begin working with students as they progress through high school, giving us time to support their growth and help them pursue additional scholarships, grants, and post-secondary opportunities. Funding provided directly by the Foundation may be used to cover the costs of education, including but not limited to: tuition, books, housing, meal plans, etc.
