Kohl's honors local students

Kohl's Department Stores recently honored more than 2,000 kids nationwide for the good deeds they performed in their communities through volunteerism as part of the Kohl's Kids Who Care Scholarship Program.

Fifteen youth from Arkansas, including Blake Guanella and Michael Shiew, both of Conway, will receive $50 gift cards and recognition certificates from Kohl's for making a difference in their communities.

These winners have qualified for the chance to receive a $1,000 regional scholarship for post-secondary education that Kohl's will award in July. Of the regional winners, Kohl's will then award 10 national winners an additional $5,000 scholarship for their outstanding service and donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization of the national winners' choice. In total, Kohl's plans to award more than $350,000 in scholarships and prizes this summer.
