Notes
1. The number of Kennedy-King scholarships awarded each year is dependent upon the amount of money
raised. Kennedy-King is an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff.! Over!ninety percent!of the
financial!contributions from the community go directly to scholarships. Unfortunately, each year we receive
many more applications from deserving students than we can fund. Consequently, selection for a scholarship is
quite competitive. If we are not able to fund a scholarship for you, do not be discouraged. Know that we wish
you success in pursuing and achieving your educational goals.
2. All complete and timely filed applications will be reviewed. Students selected for interviews (and those not
selected) will be notified by e-mail by the end of February. The scholarship selection interviews will only be
held Saturday morning, March 19, 2016, at DVC.! No alternate arrangements will be made.
Please do not apply if you know you cannot attend.
3. If you are selected for an interview, note the following.
Each interview is scheduled for 20 minutes with a panel of three interviewers.
The interview is designed to give the interviewers an opportunity to get to know you and ask questions.
You can and should supplement and explain anything you believe may not have been clear in your
application or which you want to be sure the interviewers remember about you.
Present yourself as though you are interviewing for a job.
Dress professionally.
4. You will be notified by e-mail as to the outcome of your interview within approximately one week of the
interview.
5. Kennedy King Scholarship funding will commence in the fall, 2016 (or spring, 2017) after acceptance,
transfer with Upper Division (junior) standing and enrollment in a qualifying four-year college or university.
No advance funding will be provided.

Explanatory Notes To Application Answers
Insert Here:      
Autobiographical Essay
Provide below a two - three-page autobiography in the space provided at the end of this form.
Assuming you meet the qualifications for a Kennedy King Scholarship (see cover letter to applicants), your
application will be evaluated upon the following criteria:
1. Demonstrated Financial Need
2. Academic Achievement & Potential
3. Community Service & Involvement
4. Personal Attributes (e.g., Character, Integrity, Responsibility, Commitment, Determination, Hard Work,
Achievements, Hardships Overcome, Life’s Goals, etc.)
To the extent that you believe your application may not otherwise fully reflect the above, you should specifically
address those subjects in your autobiographical essay.
In light of these criteria, and other factors you believe relevant, answer the question: why do you believe you
should be given a Kennedy King Scholarship?
Publication Summary
We need a "Publication Summary" in approximately 75 words or less that tells your story as set forth in your
Autobiographical Essay. This may be used for publication in the Kennedy King dinner program and for
distribution to news media and the Internet if you are selected for a scholarship. It is the primary instrument we
use to show our donors that their money is being used to assist needy and worthy scholarship recipients who
have worked hard, overcome difficulties, contributed to their communities and have the strength, character and
potential to do well in college and after.
It is an important part of your application.
Please do not!use the Publication Summary to thank family, friends, teachers and others, or to proclaim broad
social platitudes as such language will be edited out of the!summary.
We reserve the right to edit your summary,
as we believe appropriate in our absolute discretion and to modify it with information extracted from other parts
of your application including your autobiographical essay. Begin Summary with your
Full Name and
Community College.
Complete this in the space provided at the end of this form.
