Beginning February 1, Kohl’s Department Stores will be accepting nominations for outstanding young volunteers for the 2013 Kohl’s Cares® Scholarship Program. Nominations for kids ages six to 18 will be accepted through March 15 at kohlskids.com. Those nominating a youth volunteer must be 21 years or older.

Through the program, Kohl’s will award more than 2,300 young volunteers across the country with more than $425,000 in scholarships and prizes, honoring kids who have made a positive impact on their communities.

• Two nominees from each of the more than 1,100 Kohl’s stores nationwide will win a $50 Kohl’s gift card.
• More than 200 of the store winners will then win regional scholarships worth $1,000 toward their post-secondary education.
• Ten national winners will be awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships for their post-secondary education, and Kohl’s will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each national winner’s behalf.

The Kohl’s Cares® Scholarship Program is part of Kohl’s Cares®, Kohl’s philanthropic program, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children.
