Donald McKelvie Memorial Chemistry Award
"At the University of Alabama, I have been excelling in all of my classes as a chemical engineering major and have had the opportunity to join some wonderful organizations. At the beginning of the semester, I was able to get a position in one of the research labs on campus studying nanofibers. Additionally, through the medical honors society, I am hoping to secure a volunteer position at a hospital for next semester. Also, for fun (and stress relief), I joined the triathlon club. Overall, receiving the scholarship from KEF has allowed me to worry less about how I am paying for college and focus more on my education and take advantage of some cool opportunities offered here. Thank you KEF!"

University of Miami
Longwood Rotary Foundation Scholarship
"I am starting in January for the spring semester, so I actually have not been down there yet. However, I plan on majoring in health sciences on the premed track in hopes of pursuing a career in surgery. Since I have not been at school yet, I have been taking some online courses through DCCC to get some credits for the fall semester I missed at Miami, mostly general ed courses. I have also been working at Kendal-Crosslands and the Chester County Hospital, both of which are helping me get exposure to the medical field in a way. The scholarship I was rewarded will definitely help my family and I pay for my university when I attend in the spring, University of Miami offers wonderful opportunities specific to my major and will help prepare me for medical school in the future as well. Thank you!"

University of Pennsylvania
Elizabeth (Betty) Sweede Cloud Memorial Scholarship
"The scholarship that I received from the Kennett Education Foundation has impacted what I am doing in a huge way. It took a big weight off my parents shoulders and I because those were $2,000 we saved and didn’t have to pay out of pocket. That money went towards buying all the things for my dorm including, cleaning and kitchen supplies. That money from the scholarship also went and is going towards my textbooks for classes and any personal expenses I am having. I am truly grateful for having received that scholarship!"
