Founder’s Fellows Scholarship Program

A competitive scholarship for 8th grade students

In honor of our founder, Dr. Lewis M. Andrews, the Kids’ Scholarship Fund (KSF) launched the annual Founder’s Fellows during the 2021-22 school year. The Founder’s Fellows scholarship program was designed to recognize the achievement of 8th grade KSF scholars and motivate them to continue on a path of academic excellence and meaningful service to others.

This is a competitive scholarship for current 8th grade students who received a KSF scholarship in the 2024-25 school year. To apply, a student must:

1. Be nominated by his or her principal
2. Complete a student questionnaire
3. Apply by January 15, 2025

KSF will review all applications and select several winners for prizes ranging from $500-$4,200 annually. Qualified students may have their scholarships renewed in the 10th-12th grades.

Interested students should talk to their principals about applying. Principals may request nomination forms and student questionnaires by emailing our Program Manager, Hannah DeBruler, at programs@ksfct.org.
