Mission: Take Stock in Children aims to passionately promote
personal growth, self responsibility and academic
success for deserving low-income students by
providing a unique set of resources including
mentors, scholarships, long term support,
student advocacy and a guaranteed educational
opportunity.
Our purpose is to prepare and develop our students
to be successful people, focused on being their best
and contributing members of society.
Our goal is to develop confidence, competence,
pride, a sense of belonging and hope in each student.
Achieving this goal will result in an improved quality
of life for all of our stakeholders.
We believe that a willing child can succeed with the
help of passionate and caring people, encouragement
and challenge, hard work and accountability.
Programs: Take stock in children uses a sustainable public-private model that enables 96% of our students to graduate from high school and 96% enroll into post-secondary education with a full tuition scholarship. This program has served more than 30,000 of florida's children and provided more than $200 million in college scholarships to deserving low-income children whose household income falls below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines.
TSIC is a Florida Scholarship Program in numerous counties throughout the State to financially assist students in achieving their goals in education. The Yulee/Fernandina Beach organization lacks leadership, the Executive Director does not have a clue how to run the program and lacks empathy to the very cause and purpose of helping students; her focus is to self promote herself. I have withdrawn my financial support to this organization in Yulee/Fernandina Beach, FL.
