Robert T. Kenney Scholarships are awarded primarily based on financial need, with consideration given to academic performance, community involvement, and other indications of a strong desire to achieve goals through education. Applicants must be a current high school senior, current college student, or a nontraditional adult student. They must be a United States citizen or a non-U.S. citizen who is able to apply for federal student aid; or you have been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, as evidenced by a valid Employment Authorization Card. Applicants must also live in any one of the 64 Connecticut towns served by the American Savings Foundation. Current scholars may reapply each year while they are in college, and most of the scholars receive support for all four years. Applicants with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status must submit a copy of their valid Employment Authorization Card with the Attachments Submission Form through mail. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
