Kids' Chance of Texas helps the children of Texas workers who were catastrophically or fatally injured in a workplace accident pay for college, university, or trade school. Graduating high school seniors can apply for fall enrollment, and recipients can keep reapplying for up to eight semesters. The application asks for a 2.0+ GPA (maintained throughout), two recommendation letters from non-relatives, a resume, current transcript, FAFSA Student Aid Report, evidence of educational expenses, workplace-injury documentation, and a written account of the workplace accident.
