2025 Video Contest

For Kids’ Chance of California Scholarship Recipients:

We’re excited to launch the 9th Annual Faces of Kids’ Chance of California (KCCA) Video Contest – an opportunity for you to earn more money toward your scholarship.

Many of you have expressed how your KCOCA scholarship has helped to reduce your financial burden and allow you to focus on your studies. Now is your opportunity to pay it forward and help us spread the word to other college students that need our help, as well as let our sponsors know how important their donations are to you and your families.

We’re looking for fresh faces and new videos. Please consider creating a short video over your upcoming holiday break and enter to win additional scholarship funds for the Spring 2025 semester.

Deadline to submit a video for consideration is Thursday, January 31, 2025
