We will consider any scholarship applicants who are KHS Seniors and need money for university, community college, trade school, or other educational or career opportunities.
All applicants must be preparing to graduate from Kirkwood High School.
Funds will be awarded to one recipient per year. The amount of the award is based upon the annual dividends earned by the KHS Grads Inc. investment fund at the time of the award.
The award will be announced in December of each year and the funds will be paid to the university, trade school, or other educational or career development institution chosen by the award winner.
The amount of the award will be determined by the annual return on investment achieved by the fund at the time of the award.
The scholarship winner is determined by a vote of all donating members. Each donating member will receive one vote for each dollar contributed to the fund. $1 = 1 vote. $10,000 = 10, votes.
The board will comprise of one permanent board member, Michael Hosto Class of 1984, and two rotating board seats that will be determined by the permanent board member.
All funds donated will he managed by Mr. Tim Shulze (Class of 1978) from Pioneer Wealth Management 101 West Argonne Drive. All funds will be held at Charles Schwab.

Why did we do this?
We are all grateful for our KHS experience, and want to give back.
Why didn't we just donate to KHS foundation?
We had meetings with the new leadership of KHS Foundation. We asked if we could create a team of donors that came together to raise money and help a kid that we feel is deserving and meets our mission statement.
They replied that in order to achieve this, we would fall into their named scholarship category, there would be a minimum $25,000 donation and we would not be able to provide any input on the recipient of the award. We begged, we pleaded, they stopped returning our phone calls.
What are we asking?
Our goal is $100,000 to fund these scholarships.
I am starting the fund off with a $5000 contribution.
Please donate $10 or $10,000
Every dollar will continue to earn dividends perpetually
and send kids to college or trade school for generations.
Who is in charge of the money?
The money is held in a Charles Schwab investment account managed by KHS Grad Tim Schulze at Pioneer Wealth Management.
Who decides who get the scholarship award?
All financial contributors will received 1 vote per dollar of contribution.
$10 = 10 votes
$100 = $100 votes
Is this tax deductible?
Heck yes. I want my to write off my donation and i know you do too.

We are officially incorporated,
We have applied for our 501 (C) 3
