TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN SENIOR RECOGNITION 2025 Putnam County's Take Stock in Children program is excited to announce that TWENTY-ONE Putnam County School District seniors successfully completed our program and were honored at an event on April 18th at the Putnam County Fairgrounds. These Take Stock In Children scholars earned their scholarships by meeting regularly with a volunteer mentor, completing professional college coaching sessions, and participating in college readiness events. At the event, each student received a Take Stock In Children medallion to wear at graduation but most importantly they each received a 60-credit hour college rate tuition scholarship from the Florida PrePaid Foundation that covers the cost of tuition at a Florida college or technical school. Our seniors plan to attend the following post-secondary institutions: St. John's River State College, Daytona State College, Santa Fe College, University of North Florida, Valdosta State University, University of Florida, Beck Automotive Apprenticeships, and the United States Army. Take Stock in Children is proud to be able to provide these deserving students with a guaranteed pathway to post-secondary education! We would like to thank, Nathan Collins, Katrina Feola, Randy Hedstrom, Pamela Brown, Latina Hardy, Susannah Bender, Amanda Lamb, John Weeks, Michelle Mikel, Rebecca Motes, Wendy Letterman, Kristen Stout, and Yvette Jones for mentoring these students.
