"Change the mother, change the world.”
– Kay Walters
This heartfelt mantra drives Kay Walters’ actions as the inspirational founder and CEO of The Second Chance Scholarship Foundation, which provides college educations to single mothers and battered women.
The Second Chance Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization based in Orlando, Florida, that has granted approximately 200 scholarships ($250,000) to single mothers and battered women since 2004.
Kay has solicited scholarship funds from generous donors who have provided for The Second Chance Foundation that grants approximately 40 scholarships annually to women.
Now, The Foundation seeks additional support to increase the number of scholarships granted.
Philanthropist and career nurse Kay Walters M.S.R.N., established The Foundation to provide women with scholarships and support towards earning a nursing degree from Valencia College.
Kay raised a wonderful, loving family and was given a second chance after not completing high school to receive an education. She earned a nursing degree and became a national and then, international nursing leader working decades as an expert in the health care delivery industry.
Today, Kay helps other women change their lives through education and lift families from poverty.
