The Killingworth Scholarship Association is offering scholarships to graduating seniors who are residents of Killingworth. Scholarships are awarded from the Killingworth Scholarship Fund, the Kent T. Healy Scholarship Fund for Political Science majors, and the Kathy Weiss Scholarship Fund for Education majors.

Income is not a consideration for awarding these scholarships. The application process involves completion of a questionnaire and an essay, followed by an interview for select candidates. All interested students are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is Monday, May 1st and interviews will be held during late May and early June.

Each year, the Scholarship Association, which consists of community volunteers, reviews applications from an impressive group of young men and women. Several students are then selected for scholarships based on a combination of their academic achievement, character, leadership skills, and participation in school and community activities. The amount of each scholarship varies depending on both the number of successful applicants and the total donations received from residents, businesses and organizations of Killingworth, as well as supporters outside of our community. Scholarship recipients are announced in the local media in late June.

The Killingworth Scholarship Association has awarded over $85,000 to many outstanding students over the past 20 years! If you are interested in supporting our scholarship program, please mail your tax-deductible contribution to:
