2008 ScholarShip information

Key Club International 2008 Scholarship Program

Students will apply for the International Scholarships through the district scholarship application process. If the district does not have its own application form, the enclosed 2-page application form may be used. Districts will then send to Key Club International, one finalist for each Key Club International Scholarship that we offer. A committee will determine the winners of the scholarships here at the International level.

All scholarships are provided as cash awards in the form of a check issued to the college or university and the student. This check is sent directly to the college or university for deposit into the student’s account and most likely will require the student to endorse the check. Checks are disbursed in August from the Kiwanis International Foundation. A copy of the letter and check is sent to the recipient’s home address.

Recipients are announced at the 2008 Key Club International Convention and then are posted on the Key Club International Website. All questions regarding this program should be directed to Key Club International, Youth Funds & Scholarship Specialist, 800/549-2647, ext. 1244.

Kiwanis International Foundation/Key Club District Matching Scholarships Offered to Participating Districts

Application Deadline Determined by Each District The Kiwanis International Foundation and Key Club International have designed a scholarship program to recognize Key Club members who have excelled in leadership and have provided service to others. Financial need is not a factor in this award. Each winner will receive a one-time US$1,000 award (unless a district changes the award amount). Districts are eligible to receive up to ten matching scholarships based on the amount of Kiwanis clubs participating in the Annual Club Gift Campaign with the Kiwanis International Foundation. Interested students need to contact their district administrator (or representative, listed below) to determine the district’s participation in the 2008 program. Applications for this scholarship are mailed directly to the district administrator, unless he or she instructs otherwise. Each district determines its own deadline. Key Club International Board members and Key Club district governors are NOT ELIGIBLE for the District Matching Scholarship program. Each district’s Key Club board is to determine the procedure to select the district scholarship winner(s). The district administrator is to forward the winning recipient form and matching funds to the Kiwanis International Foundation by May 21, 2008. The Kiwanis International Foundation/Key Club District Matching Scholarship recipients will be notified by the Kiwanis International Foundation, announced at the 2008 Key Club International Convention, and will be posted to the Key Club International Website. All scholarships are provided as cash awards in the form of a check issued to the college or university and the student. This check is sent directly to the college or university for deposit into the student’s account and most likely requires the student to endorse the check also. Checks are disbursed in August.

Cunat International Scholarship

While serving as governor of the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District in 1992-93, Brian and Miki Cunat established this scholarship, to recognize and support Kiwanis-Family members who were setting out to make a difference in people’s lives as

they worked their way through school. The Cunat’s have been believers in setting goals, staying the course, and accomplishing their goals. Life goals should be not only self serving, but include the concept of helping others and making the

world a better place for all. During 2001-02, serving as Kiwanis International President, Brian and Miki Cunat expanded the scholarship program to include other parts of the world. Their love for children and young adults,

and their beliefs that our future is in their hands motivates them to fund these scholarships. Together we can “Build Today for Tomorrow’s Dreams.”

One US$2,500 scholarship for a college-attending Key Club International member.
