Linda B. Keeney Scholarship For KSE Alumni
|
Make good choices. Do the right thing and have a great day at King Springs!" These are the famous words uttered every morning during Linda B. Keeney's tenure as principal at King Springs Elementary. It was good advice for all who crossed the threshold of the school.
In 2017, upon Ms. Keeney's retirement, the King Springs Foundation decided to establish a post-secondary Linda B. Keeney Scholarship for King Springs alumni. We invite former King Springs students who attended KSE for a minimum of three (3) years, will be graduating from a Cobb County high school in Spring 2026, and who have been accepted to an accredited post-secondary educational program to apply. Email a copy of your fully completed application (below) in PDF format to [email protected]. If you have any questions about the scholarship please email [email protected]. |
