Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis & Nebraska-Iowa Key Club Scholarships

A total of four scholarships for post-secondary education will be awarded to graduating Key Club students, each worth $500. Two will be awarded by the Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis District from funds received through a Kiwanis Childrens Fund grant, and two will be awarded by the Nebraska-Iowa Key Club District.

Scholarships will be awarded to Key Club seniors who are passionate about making a difference in the world.  These students have a heart to serve, have answered the call to lead, and have exercised the courage to engage. They go the extra mile and encourage others to do the same.

Nominees may be submitted by the Key Club Faculty Advisor, the Key Club Kiwanis Advisor or the President of the sponsoring Kiwanis Club. Nominees cannot be related to the person making the recommendation. A completed form (below) will serve as nomination for both scholarship programs.

Use the form provided to nominate a student that has embodied these characteristics and tell us they have embraced service leadership in their home club.

The judges will be the Nebraska-Iowa District Awards and Scholarship Committee for the Kiwanis District’s scholarships and the Key Club administrator for the Key Club District’s scholarship. Scholarship winners will be announced by the end of the school year.
