KFA 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 2010, we awarded five scholarships.
