Attention, high-school seniors from Killingworth: The deadline to apply for this year’s Killingworth Ambulance Association scholarships is Friday, May 15, 2020. So there’s still time to act.
There’s just not much of it.
Originally, the KAA scheduled the deadline for mid-April, which was the date in the past. But it postponed it one month to accommodate for the disruption created within our schools by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now that deadline is like high-school graduation: It’s approaching rapidly.
Applications are available to graduating seniors who are residents of Killingworth and enrolled in private or public high schools. To qualify for a scholarship, applicants must plan on attending a continuing-institution (two or four years) and have been accepted at a school. They also must major in the medical, emergency services (fire, police, etc.) or other allied fields, have performed community service and maintained a GPA of at least 3.0.
Certificates of scholarships will be awarded at the end of the school year. In the past two years, the KAA awarded scholarships to 11 graduating seniors now enrolled in colleges across the country.
NOTE: In addition to moving the deadline for applications, the KAA also changed the procedure to make it more convenient for students. Instead of filling out applications by hand and delivering them to a school’s guidance department, applicants may now complete them on-line and submit them by computer to the KAA.
Instructions are included within the attached application found here.
