    The Kroc Center Scholarship Program

    CHANGING PEOPLE’S LIVES FOR THE BETTER

    “The Kroc Center has helped us immensely in many ways. My husband and I, as well my parents, have been motivated to improve our lifestyle and have acquired discipline in the aspect of exercise and maintaining a healthier and active life.

    The Kroc Center has also helped with the academic education of our children. We utilize the After School Program and Camp Kroc in the summer. The kids have greatly improved their studies and reading thanks to these programs. The Kids’ Grandparents have benefited as well because they participate in fitness classes and have been able to maintain a healthier lifestyle. It is because of all of the wonderful things the Kroc Center is to our family that we are very grateful to be given the opportunity to join this center and take part in all it has to offer.”

    – Angelica, Kroc Center Member & Scholarship Recipient

    “I have been a member at the Kroc Center for about 4 years now. I love coming to the Kroc because I get to spend time with my family and friends. What inspires me is seeing my child grow up in a healthy environment and watching her grow in her activities such as art and swimming. Since joining the Kroc Center I have made new friends, gained new skills on how to communicate with my children and lastly, I have strengthened my spiritual relationship.”

    — Blanca, Kroc Center Member & Scholarship Recipient.

    “I have been a Kroc member for about 8 years. What I love most about the Kroc Center is that they have a variety of classes (exercise, swimming, art). What inspires me the most is keeping my mind and body healthy. The Kroc has impacted my life back when I was injured. The Kroc Center gave me strength back and it also helped me with physical therapy.”
