The Greater Kent Historical Society has a great scholarship opportunity for Kent High School students – the GKHS Scholarship.
This scholarship was created through the generosity of the members of the Greater Kent Historical Society to allow students the opportunity to pursue history related studies at an accredited college or university.
The scholarship will be awarded to a student entering a history related field of study, i.e. history, Social Studies, political science, the humanities, archeology, anthropology, architectural studies, geography, or museum studies.
The scholarship is a one-time payment of $2,000.00 and can be applied to either a 2 or 4 year program.
