HOW TO SUBMIT A NOMINATION
A single representative from each high school submitting nominees should enter the
students’ application information on the following website:

/>Please note the web page should NOT be widely distributed. We are only accepting
two nominees per school, so any additional entrants that come in after the first two will
not be considered.
The application form calls for the school representative to enter basic information about
the student and to upload an essay (500 words or less) written by the student explaining
why they deserve to be a KPRC 2 Senior Scholar.
We are accepting applications beginning immediately and will continue to accept them
until April 9, 2021. Students will be awarded scholarships between the first week of
February and the last week of May. The nominee pool will grow as the spring semester
progresses, so nominees submitted early will have a greater chance and more
opportunities to be selected.
Any questions regarding the nomination process should be emailed to
