Every year, the MLK Heritage Foundation awards two post-secondary scholarships to Branford High School seniors. Winners are chosen based on:

​

• Community activities

• Grades

• A video explaining what they’ve done in the school and community to apply and bring to life Dr. King’s message.

 

Scholarships are not based on race, religion or any other factor. Funds can be applied to any post-secondary education, including four-year, two-year, and technical programs.

 

The Foundation’s scholarship program is unique in that each previous winner can also come back and re-apply for scholarship money to continue their education.

* Important notes:

​

• A video (3-minute minimum) answering the question, "How has Dr. King's legacy impacted my life?" is required. Applicants should create the video, upload it to YouTube or a similar service where its settings can be set to 'private,' and then send the video link to mlkheritage5@gmail.com.

• Student transcripts, AND a letter of reference from a teacher, should also be emailed to mlkheritage5@gmail.com.​​
