High School seniors residing in Schenectady County, are you interested in receiving some money to help with your plans for your future? Why not apply for a Kiwanis Foundation grant.
The Schenectady Kiwanis Foundation is pleased to offer grants up to $1500 to selected graduating high school seniors who reside in the City and County of Schenectady for their post-high school education and training. All applications are reviewed for academic performance, volunteer experience, family needs, and other positive qualities that will help a student’s success. Key Club members are given extra consideration. Personal adversity and altruistic volunteerism showing strength of character and determination will be important in the decision to make an award. Applicants should be sure to mention any connection to Kiwanis they may have.

Submissions of all applications are due by May 1st each year. Awards are given at our July picnic.
