Each $2,500 scholarship is a one-time payout and should be used during the 2016-2017 school year.
The application form calls for the school representative to enter basic information about the student and to upload an essay (500 words or less) written by the student explaining why they deserve to be a KPRC2 Senior Scholar. Please turn essay in to Mrs. Brown in the Counseling Center.
We are accepting applications beginning immediately and will continue to accept them until April 3, 2016.
