(March 24, 2025) — Applications for the 2025 Killingworth Ambulance Association scholarships are now available to high-school seniors, but those interested are warned not to delay. The deadline for completion is April 25, 2025.
As has been the case in the past, scholarships are awarded only to seniors who reside in Killingworth and are enrolled in public or private institutions. They must also meet the following requirements:
- Been accepted and plan on attending a continuing education institution of two or four years.
- Plan to major in the medical, emergency services (fire, police, etc.) or other allied fields.
- Perform at least 30 hours of community service.
- Maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Applications are available at Haddam-Killingworth High School, and at Xavier and Mercy High Schools or can be obtained by going to scholarship@killingworthambulance.org. Recipients will be named at their school’s Awards Night, with checks issued upon completion of the students’ first collegiate semesters.
A year ago, the KAA awarded a record six scholarships for the second time in the past nine years, with each of the recipients receiving anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000 each. Unlike the previous occasion (2019), however, all honorees were from Haddam-Killingworth High School. Six years ago, there was one recipient from Mercy High School.
But that’s not all. For only the second time in six years … and the first since 2021 … males were included among the recipients, a departure from 2019-2023 when fourteen of the seventeen were female. Over the past six years, the KAA has awarded twenty-three scholarships, including nine the past two years.
