Each year since 2009, UDKids has been selecting elementary through high school students from underserved communities who have excelled academically throughout the year and have made the honor roll. The number of students has grown and as the foundation grew, so has the rewards. Students have traditionally received backpacks filled with goodies and school supplies, but more recently they have been treated to shopping sprees and even lunch with Udonis. In December 2021, 100 honor roll students each received $200 Walmart cards for a chaperoned day of shopping.
