There will be two $1,000 scholarships awarded. Scholarships will be awarded to students true to the founding principles of the Knights of Columbus: Charity, Unity and Fraternity.

Kennedy Council #1611, 1211 Highland Ave, Needham, MA 02492 no later than May 7, 2022. The recipient will be decided upon in May and acknowledged at the Knights of Columbus meeting on June 1, 2022. The Knights of Columbus Scholarship Committee will select the scholarship recipient. Decisions will be made based on a combination of the student’s accomplishments, essay, letter of recommendation, and application’s completeness.
