Our Mission

Kids’ Chance of New Jersey was created to provide scholarships for college and vocational education to children of New Jersey workers who have been fatally or catastrophically injured in a work-related accident. The hardships to children and families created by the death or serious disability of a parent often include financial ones, making it difficult for deserving young people to pursue their educational dreams.

 Who is Eligible?

· A dependent of a parent who was seriously, catastrophically, or fatally injured in a work-related accident

·  The injured parent must have a New Jersey State accepted workers’ compensation claim

·  Must be between the ages of 18 – 26 years old

·  Attending full-time or part-time at an Undergraduate or Vocational school

·   Must have already obtained a high school diploma or GED at time of first disbursement

·   Must maintain a minimum of 2.0 GPA

·   Should be of good moral character
