One Kid Campaign
More Than a Destination
In Normandy, students encounter history where it happened. They walk the beaches, fields, and cemeteries of D-Day and consider what courage, service, and responsibility mean in their own lives.
​
Through instruction, mentorship, and reflection, students connect those lessons to their own choices and the leaders they can become.
​
One Complete Scholarship: $5,500
​
Each scholarship includes round trip travel, lodging, meals, ground transportation, instruction, and chaperone supervision.
​
Scholarship gifts are pooled to support participating students. You can fund a complete scholarship or join others in making one possible.
