INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
Kappa Kappa Kappa, Alpha Chapter, annually awards two $1,000 scholarships to a graduating senior from Bloomington High School North and Bloomington High School South (one scholarship at each school). Scholarships may be used at any approved and accredited college or university in the State of Indiana.
Scholarships must be used the year immediately following high school graduation. Payment is made in two installments: half at fall semester enrollment and the other half at second semester enrollment provided the recipient has maintained a “C” average.
Applicants must plan to remain enrolled at a college or university in the State of Indiana for the next academic year (or two consecutive semesters) to maintain eligibility for this scholarship. The scholarship is not transferable to an out-of-state college or university. Transferring to an out-of-state program during the award period will make the recipient ineligible for the full or any remaining portion of the scholarship.
Scholastic ability, academic potential, personal statement, financial need, and extracurricular activities are the criteria used to select recipients. The members of the Alpha Chapter Scholarship Committee will review all applications and determine the scholarship recipients. Applicants will not be interviewed. The recipients will be announced no later than April 30, 2014.
