Killingworth Scholarship Association

Each year the Killingworth Scholarship Association awards several scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are residents of Killingworth and who plan on entering a college or university that year. The amount of each award varies, depending on the number of successful applicants and the amount of funds raised from the community. In addition to the general awards, specific funds are available to provide scholarships to students who intend to major in Political Science and/or students interested in pursuing history or government related careers (Kent T. Healy Scholarship Fund) or Education (Kathy Weiss Scholarship Fund). Scholarship awards are based on academic achievement, character, leadership skills and participation in school and community activities, and not on family income. Selected candidates will be interviewed by Committee members in late April/early May and scholarships awarded at the end of the school year. Students will receive their scholarship monies upon successful completion of the first semester at their college or university.
