The DC Student Leader Awards recognizes the outstanding leadership and achievements of students in the District of Columbia. The Kiwanis Club of Washington, DC sponsors the event, with the Kiwanis Foundation of the District of Columbia providing initial funding. Through community partnerships, corporate and individual donations, and Foundation funding, we have awarded scholarships to graduating high school seniors for 26 years - impacting the lives of over 200 student leaders. The scholarship is open to high school seniors who reside in and attend school in the District of Columbia - including public, private, and charter schools. Open to all educational pathways; previous recipients have pursued vocational or training schools, two- and four-year college programs, or other accredited educational institutions. In 2023, we were excited to award $75,000 in scholarships to high school seniors in all eight wards of the District of Columbia.

This year, help us help more student leaders thrive!

Your donation will help us increase the number of scholarships we are able to offer in 2024. With your support, disproportunate students in the District of Columbia will have a decreased financial burden and a path to a successful future.
