The Killingworth Scholarship Association is offering scholarships to graduating seniors who are residents of Killingworth. Applications can be found through the guidance departments or by emailing the scholarship committee. The deadline is March 31. The application process involves completion of a questionnaire and an essay, followed by an interview for selected applicants. Interviews are held in late April and early May.
The Killingworth Scholarship Association is proud to have awarded $214,500 to 278 outstanding students since first recorded in 1986. Each year, the committee, made up of community volunteers, reviews applications from an impressive group of young men and women. Based on their academic achievement, character, leadership skills, and participation in school and community activities, the committee selects several students for the scholarships. Income is not a consideration. The amount of
scholarship award varies, depending on both the number of successful applicants and the amount of money received through donations and fundraising activities.
