Supporting Children, Changing Lives

Investing in the Children of Oregon’s Fatally or Seriously Injured Workers Through Scholarships for Their Continuing Education

It's a difficult reality that workers who are injured or killed on the job may leave their children in need of financial support to continue their education. Without a parent's income, it can be challenging for these children to afford college or vocational school. In fact, some families have to put off their children's education or take out massive loans to pay for it. These financial burdens can add to the already difficult emotional trauma experienced by the family.


In 2022, the estimated cost to attend a postsecondary institution in Oregon ranged from $17,433 to $82,300, with the average falling at just under $40,000. For a child who has lost a parent, or had a parent severely disabled, from an on-the-job injury, these costs can be daunting. 


A scholarship for college or vocational education from Kids Chance of Oregon provides these students both financial support and a vote of confidence that they can achieve their dreams. We have seen our recipients go on to do great things and are immensely proud to be a part of their journey. Join us with your support and help Oregon kids go on to do big things!
