The Kiwanis Club of Western Kenosha Foundation is offering academic scholarships to senior high school students who, upon graduation, will be attending an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or technical school leading to a degree. Applications are available through area high school counselors and on our Western Kiwanis Club website: http://kiwanisclubofwesternkenosha.org/.
Thanks to the generosity of our Kiwanis Club of Western Kenosha and the bequests of Gene Olson, Snap-On Corp, Russell & Clair Huber, Frank Vilen, Paul Jaeger, & Harvey Elmer, we can offer five scholarships in 2026. They are in amounts of $2,500, $2,250, $2,000, $1,750, and $1,000. At least one scholarship will be reserved for an active Kiwanis Key Club member sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Western Kenosha, and one for an Engineering Degree sponsored by Gene Olson and Snap-On Corp. The Harvey Elmer scholarship ($1,000) is reserved for a technical school candidate. The application deadline is March 6, 2026.
Applications will be reviewed and recipients selected by the Foundation Board of Trustees in April.
Scholarship winners will be recognized at a Kiwanis Scholarship Presentation during our 12 pm meeting, Thursday, April 23, 2026, at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom. Scholarship recipients are encouraged to attend along with a parent or guardian.0
