Investing in the growth and development of our next generation is a long-standing tradition of Kimball International. Our annual Kimball International Scholarship Program and the Bob Schneider Skilled Trades Scholarship awards multiple $2,000 scholarships to help fund educational opportunities for high-achieving young women and men. We are grateful to have awarded over $3.6 million in scholarship funds over the decades since program inception in 1963.
This year, the Kimball International Scholarship Program has awarded scholarships to twelve aspiring students – including five high school seniors and seven college undergraduates.
We are also awarding one Bob Schneider Skilled Trades Scholarship, a $2,000 scholarship for students pursuing a skilled trades certification at an accredited institution.
All scholarship recipients were chosen by a committee of individuals who are entirely independent of Kimball International.
