The Terrance “T.K.” Kelly Scholarship Fund is designed to provide support deserving inner-city high school students who exemplify a strong potential for academic achievement but face social-economic conditions that hinder them from reaching their full potential.
While the cost of education continues to rise, access to college for many students especially those from inner cities are becoming scarce. It is the goal of the Terrance “T.K.” Kelly Youth Foundation to help level the disparities that exist by providing scholarships and support for students going on to pursue college careers. The Terrance “T.K.” Kelly Youth Foundation Scholarships are given away annually.
