Kiwanis Club of Rockford Higher Education Grant
Supporting students with financial need who are actively involved in their school, community, and family.
Eligibility Criteria
Every CFNIL scholarship has a unique intent, often reflecting the background of the donor or person in whose memory the fund was created. CFNIL uses an online "universal" application to ensure the most efficient process; as an applicant, you do not need to predetermine which scholarships you should apply for. Complete ONE application each cycle, and your answers to a series of yes/no and personal background questions automatically match you to every scholarship you are eligible for. Because our scholarships were created to support students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations, we encourage every scholarship seeker (high school graduating seniors and older) to apply!
Specifications
Academic performance will be given moderate consideration in the selection process.
Written Prompt
Each CFNIL scholarship is created with a specific purpose in mind. As you complete the application, the system automatically matches you with every scholarship for which you are eligible and will present you with a specific written prompt for each. You're encouraged to craft a unique response to each prompt to show the reviewers why you're the best candidate for that scholarship.
Chartered on January 20, 1917, the Kiwanis Club of Rockford is one of the oldest Kiwanis clubs in the world.
During our 103-year history, our members have provided countless hours of service to children of our community and the world, and have distributed over one million dollars to youth organizations in Rockford and surrounding areas.
Today our club remains vibrant, creative in purpose, and growing: offering meetings and volunteer opportunities to fit your lifestyle and schedule.
Our members represent all walks of life, ages, and beliefs in a common bond of camaraderie, inclusion, and service. Our goal: making life better for the children and youth of our community - Where One Can Make a Difference.
