About KH Scholarship
In the United States, a significant opportunity gap exists, making it especially difficult for low-income students from underserved communities to access higher education. The Kendal Hudgins Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Kendal Hudgins, a beloved brother tragically lost to gun violence in Atlantic City, NJ.
This scholarship was created to help bridge the gap for students from Atlantic City’s disadvantaged neighborhoods, providing them with the resources and encouragement they need to pursue their academic dreams.
Through financial assistance, we aim to inspire and uplift underprivileged students, easing the financial burdens that often stand in their way. Every year, we honor Kendal’s legacy and his unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. His passion for making a difference lives on through our mission: to create opportunities for young men and women from Atlantic City’s overlooked communities, empowering them to thrive and succeed.
