The Kiwanis International Foundation, in partnership with district foundations, has granted US$185,000 in individual and district-matching scholarships to outstanding members of Circle K and Key Club. The breakdown:
- Circle K: seven individual and 72 matching scholarships totaling $77,000.
- Key Club: 20 individual and 88 matching scholarships totaling $108,000.
The Kiwanis International Foundation and district foundations fund matching scholarships equally. These scholarships, almost all for $1,000, recognize Circle K and Key Club members who have excelled in leadership and service. Financial need is not a factor.
Each district is eligible for up to five matching scholarships for each youth group based on the percentage of Kiwanis clubs participating in the International Foundation’s Annual Club Gift Campaign.
Information about applying for individual scholarships is posted on the Circle K and Key Club Web sites each year around November 1. District foundations or special scholarship committees administer district-matching scholarships. See the district Web site or contact the district office for information.
