Kinnett Scholarships for College/Further Education

Since 2005, the NSSED Foundation has been helping to make the dream of college a reality for many students. The Kinnett Scholarship for College/Further Education, aimed at graduating seniors from NSSED-affiliated high schools*, grants $1,000 scholarships to:

1) Special Education students pursuing further education through college, vocation school, or post-secondary programs, or

2)   Students planning on pursuing a college degree in Special Education.

 

The Kinnett Scholarship was established with a bequest to the NSSED Foundation from the estates of Francis and Betty Lou Kinnett--long time community members who shared a deep commitment to education.

 

Congratulations to the 2012 recipients!
