 Spring Semester Programs

     In 2005, a variety of scholarships may be awarded by KIIS to students presently attending schools that are full members of the KIIS consortium. 

     One or more scholarships may be awarded from an endowed fund established to honor the years of dedication and service given to KIIS by Milton and Inger Grimes.  The amount of the scholarship(s) will vary.

     Two scholarships (one per each spring semester program) in the amount of $750 are available for award.

     Thanks to the generosity of Javier Escobar, a loyal benefactor in Segovia, Spain, two scholarships in the amount of $1,000 may be awarded to participants in the Spain spring semester program.
