Helping Our Own
The Memorial Scholarship Fund is administered by a nine-member board composed of the principal and guidance director at KHS, two faculty members, and five elected representatives, two of whom cannot be employees of the school corporation. The board is restricted to awarding only earnings generated by the fund’s principal and can not award less than two hundred dollars to a recipient. Awards totaling over $745,000 have already been presented to over seven hundred twenty-five graduating students.
