Kirtland Foundation Opens Fall 2023 Scholarship Programs for Submissions
The Kirtland Foundation announced Monday, Mar. 20, the opening for their Fall 2023 Scholarship programs.
“Students are the backbone of our future. The Kirtland Foundation is excited to award scholarship money twice a year to help students reach their full potential,” said Kirtland Foundation’s Director Heather Appold. “It’s an honor to help passionate donors who give their monies to the Foundation in support of these students working towards a higher education.”
The Kirtland Foundation’s fall scholarships, open for submissions from Mar. 20-May 28, is an annual event reserved for all current and fall enrolling students at Kirtland Community College. Nearly every program offered at Kirtland is covered by a scholarship and if a student applies to one scholarship, their application is automatically applied to all they qualify for. Making it so students do not have to apply to over 50 scholarships offered by the foundation, singularly.
“Thank you to everyone involved in the process that led to me receiving this scholarship. I have been searching for the words to express my gratitude, happiness, relief, and excitement that I am fortunate enough to receive this assistance,” said Chad Samkowiak, a current student in Kirtland’s CNC/Machining Program at M-Tec. “I will be using the money towards my continuance of the CNC/Machining certification through Kirtland.”
The vision of the Kirtland Foundation is to provide Kirtland Community College and its students with resources to offer affordable and innovative educational opportunities to support every student in succeeding in college, in their career, and in their community.
Funds for the Kirtland Foundation fall scholarships are raised through donations from the private sector. These private sector benefactors are comprised of local businesses and individuals, and other foundations. Donations can be given to the foundation to be dispersed as they see fit or can be given directly to a singular scholarship program.
“I encourage all students to apply for the Fall 2023 scholarships. It’s well worth your time to complete the application for the opportunity to receive free money to further your education,” said Appold.
All awardees for the Kirtland Foundation fall scholarships will be announced during the week of Jun. 5. For more information on how to apply or get involved with the Kirtland Foundation fall scholarships, email the foundation at [email protected].
As an independent 501(c)(3) organization, the Kirtland Foundation raises money from private donors, local businesses, alumni, and more, then allocates funds through scholarships and grants to Kirtland Community College students and faculty, and staff. https://www.kirtland.edu/foundation/.
