Donate NowChildren’s Mentoring Connection Educational Scholarship Fund was created out of the dream of Dan Kuhlman, an active Big Brother in the Hancock County program. It was officially established by a resolution unanimously passed by the Board of Directors on December 18, 1990.
The Children’s Mentoring Connection Scholarship program is intended to provide recognition and financial assistance to current and former mentees or high school mentors seeking post-high school education. Recipients may attend an accredited two, four, or five-year college, university, business, technical school, and any post-high school education classes.
To apply for the Scholarship fund, follow this link to the Scholarship Application. Applications are due by March 15, 2025.
