Can Do 4:13 Scholarship Fund is dedicated to providing $1,000 scholarships to the 2002 through 2008 fourth grade classes at Peoria, IL's Irving Primary School. The "Can Do Kids" have been challenged to graduate from high school. They will receive the $1,000 Can Do 4:13 Scholarship once they enroll at an accredited post secondary education institution. Examples of those institutions might include a university, college, technical training school, junior or business college, or cosmetology school.

The Can Do Kids now total 375 students, who are now in 6th through 11th grade. Over $255,000 has been raised to fund the Can Do 4:13 Scholarship. Can Do aspires to give these students hope, as well as the ability to truly see that the community cares about them, and is encouraging them to graduate from high school. This hope is expected to increase graduation rates among these students, and truly change the near north side of Peoria.
