(L-R: 2021 HKHS winners — Jasmine Byrne, Ryan Luther, Sam Luther and Thomas Perry)

Attention, local high-school seniors: Consider this your first alert.

Applications for the Killingworth Ambulance Association’s 2022 scholarships are now available to graduating seniors enrolled in private or public high schools.

However, they’re available only to residents of Killingworth who plan on continuing their educations at two-or-four-year institutions. In addition, applicants must meet the following criteria: 1) Major in the medical, emergency services (first, police, etc.) or other allied fields; 2) engage in community service and 3) maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher in their high-school careers.

Applications are available at Haddam-Killingworth, Mercy and Xavier High Schools.

Completed applications must be postmarked no later than Friday, April 15, with recipients announced later this spring. Upon completion of the first semester of a continuing institution a check will be mailed to the scholarship recipient.

The KAA has awarded 20 scholarships over the past four years, including 10 the past two. Last year’s winners were Jasmine Byrne, Ryan Luther, Sam Luther, Thomas Perry and Kayla Fordyce. All but Fordyce, who graduated from Mercy, attended Haddam-Killingworth High School.
