Any scholarship granted will not be awarded until proof of either a high school diploma or equivalent degree and proof of admission to the post secondary school is submitted. All granted scholarships would be considered gifts. The scholarship must be used to pay for tuition, books or housing. To assure this, the check will be made out directly to the school/university on behalf of the recipient. Scholarship amounts will be based on funds secured by Project Kindle each year. Project Kindle will distribute up to 5 scholarships gifts each year, depending on funding and needs. Scholarships can range from $100.00 to $1,000.00 per student per year. The amount granted will be based on scholastic achievement, community and school involvement and financial need. Project Kindle will notify each recipient of the amount they have been granted.
