The qualifications for a student to receive a Kennedy Society scholarship are:

Plan to attend a certified workshop/class/camp of instruction.
Documentation of certification of the workshop/class/camp or instructor.

Preference goes to Kennedy society members and relatives of Kennedy Society members, but others are eligible. A scholarship award covers the cost of workshop/class/camp registration, up to $100.

To apply, print and fill out the scholarship application. The application is in Portable Document Format (PDF), which requires a viewer such as the well-known Adobe Reader or the smaller and faster Foxit Reader to view. Both of these viewers are FREE.
