How We Support Education
🎓 College Scholarships for At-Risk Youth
We provide need-based scholarships to students from marginalized communities, particularly those impacted by housing instability or health disparities.
✅ Who qualifies? Low-income students, foster youth, and those affected by HIV/housing insecurity.
✅ What’s covered? Tuition assistance, textbooks, and mentorship programs.
✅ Why it matters: Education reduces vulnerability to homelessness, unemployment, and preventable health crises.

How We Support Education
🍎 After-School Snacks & Safe Spaces
Hunger shouldn’t be a homework distraction. In partnership with local schools and community centers, we provide:
🥪 Nutritious after-school meals
🏡 Safe spaces for tutoring & mentorship
🧠 Health & wellness workshops (STI/HIV prevention, financial literacy)
"Many kids only eat at school. Our after-school snacks ensure they don’t go home hungry."
~ Program Volunteer
At One Check Away Inc., we know that education is power—and no child or young adult should miss out on learning because of financial hardship.
