32 New Students Selected For Take Stock in Children Scholarship Program
September 3, 2023
Take Stock in Children recently welcomed 32 new scholarship recipients.
Fifteen new seventh graders, 12 new eighth graders and five new tenth grade students were added. There are now 152 students in grades 7-12 in Escambia County’s program.

Take Stock in Children is a statewide non-profit organization operating locally under the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation. Take Stock provides “scholarships, mentors & hope” to deserving young people selected through a need-based application process through the public middle schools at the end of their sixth or seventh grade year. Scholarship donations from local foundations, organizations, businesses and individuals are matched dollar-for-dollar when scholarships are purchased from Florida Prepaid College Foundation each year and are held until students graduate from high school.
The new students were selected as follows
- Bailey Middle – Braelynn Brown, Tyler Clark, Danielle Edwards, Victorya Fisher, Cameron Heath, Annelise Hungerford, Ava Long

Would Much Better support this program, and expand it to more kids, than have that mess of Escambia Children’s Trust. Which we do Not Trust.
Any way that can happen?
