KIMBALL FAMILY ASSOCIATION
EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS
To assist young Kimball’s in their pursuit of higher education in any form -- vocational, trade, or college – the Judith Kimball Scholarship Fund Committee raises money with which annual scholarship(s) are awarded at the reunion.
Funds permitting, the Association tries to award at least two $500 scholarships each year. In 2009, we awarded five scholarships.
In addition to the scholarship money, the recipient of the award is also awarded a 5 year paid membership to the Kimball Family Association. Scholarship applicants are eligible to re-apply for scholarship funds in any year that they meet the Association requirements.
We raise monies for the Scholarships in several ways:
- $2.50 of annual dues is allocated to the Scholarship Fund.
- Monies raised by the auction/fund rising at the annual reunion.
- Donations made to fund by members and relatives of members.
Applications are available on line or by writing to Kimball Family Association, PO Box 453, West Kennebunk, Me 04094.
How to Qualify:
Scholarships are awarded only to individuals who have been dues paying members of KFA for at least three years, or dependent children or grandchildren of such members. Grandchildren must show genealogical relationship to member grandparent.
APPLICATION SHALL BE JUDGED ON ACADEMIC WORK COMPLETED, LEADERSHIP AT SCHOOL, JOB AND/OR COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND AN ESSAY REGARDING YOUR KIMBALL HERITAGE.
