Kirtland Foundation Announces Winter 2021 Semester Scholarship Recipients
The Kirtland Foundation is proud to announce 50 scholarship recipients for the Winter 2021 semester, totaling $30,000 in disbursed awards. Thanks to the support of all of our donors we have raised over $225,000 through the Foundation’s Scholarship Fund campaign launched in 2019. This has allowed us to more than double the number of scholarships we will be able to award over the next four years.
Through annual scholarships and endowed funds, the Kirtland Foundation awards money to local students in need of financial support for college to help them achieve their academic goals and pursue their dreams. Scholarships are awarded based on criteria, including essays on life experiences, education and career goals and community involvement, as well as letters of recommendation.
