Kevin’s Fund Scholarship Commitments

The Kevin M. Eidt Memorial Scholarship Fund currently supports seven annual scholarships specifically related to achievements in the areas in which Kevin excelled: five to Norwalk High School, one to Boston College, and one to the St. Jerome Youth Group.

The 2012 Scholarships for Norwalk High School are:

1. $100,000 to a graduating Senior, in the Kevin M. Eidt Chapter of the National Honor Society, in good standing and in the top 10% of their class with demonstrated achievements across the spectrum of academics, athletics, arts and community and religious service. The scholarship recipient is determined by the scholarship selection committee based on a submitted application and personal interview process. The presentation of this scholarship will be made at our annual Benefit Dinner Dance on March 31, 2012.
2. $1,000 to the four year member of the Norwalk High School Marching Band, in good standing, with the highest cumulative grade point average, similar to Kevin's achievement. The recipient is determined by the Principal of Norwalk High School, or a designated representative, based on the standard grade point average formula used in the determination of official class ranking. The scholarship recipient is announced at the annual Marching Band banquet in June.
3. $1,000 to a graduating senior at Norwalk HS who has made an outstanding contribution to the Jazz program.
4. $1,000 to a graduating senior at Norwalk HS who has made an outstanding contribution to the Orchestra program.
5. $1,000 to the Norwalk High School scholar-athlete who has made an outstanding contribution to the school both as a scholar and an athlete.

The Boston College scholarship is awarded to a junior in the Carroll School of Management Honors Program who has demonstrated the unique combination of academic achievement, character, leadership, and school spirit similar to Kevin’s. The award is the sum of the Fund's $7,000 contribution and other third party contibutions. The total of the most recent award was $15,000. The recipient is selected by the faculty and administrators of the Honors Program and is announced at the end of spring semester.

The $4,000 St. Jerome Youth Group scholarship is awarded to an individual with demonstrated commitment to community and religious service similar to Kevin's. The adult ministry team selects the recipient of this scholarship and announces it at the annual graduation dinner in the spring.

From time to time the Fund awards special achievement scholarships for outstanding achievements in the areas of importance to Kevin in athletics, arts and community and religious service. These scholarships are determined by the Board of Directors based on information submitted for the Norwalk HS scholarship or for volunteers for Kevin’s Fund activities.
