Scholarships


Through generous donations made by individual donors, corporations, and foundations we are able to offer financial aid to those who qualify. While a scholarship is not guaranteed, we do our best to accommodate and take into consideration each family that applies.

Scholarship Committee
Call For Members


Scholarship recipients are determined in collaboration with a Scholarship Committee. Our Scholarship Committee reviews all applications. Members are given detailed instructions to assist with their review of applications and the completion of a rubric that guides their recommendation of awards. KSS is currently seeking Scholarship Committee members to review applications to our summer programming. Our Customer Experience team will then apply the scholarship to the appropriate account.
